Summer Reminders/Sentsy Clarification

Hope you are all having a fantastic summer! I just wanted to remind you about some upcoming events so that you can put them in your calendar!

• July 11-14: Practice 6-9 in the Cafeteria (weird, I know). 
• July 15: $175 due. Sentsy profit can go towards this.
• I will be giving each of your dancers a payment printout on Tuesday to show what they have paid already and what they owe.
• Aug 1-4: Practice 6-9 in the Nest.
• Aug 1: Day Uniform Alterations Due - bring your dress to practice.
• Aug 8-11: Choreography Boot Camp!  
• Practice 12-5 in the Nest.
• We will be learning Character and Dance, plus cleaning for our first performances!
• Aug 15-19: Practice 6-9 in the Nest
• Thursday, August 18th: Cheer/Drill Party at 9:00 am! We will be sharing cheers and eating yummy food. More info to come.
• Friday, August 19th: We may have practice, depending on how prepared we are for football.
• Friday, August 19th: First football half-time! We will be performing Black and Gold.

Upcoming fundraisers:

I know that the fundraisers have been last minute so far - that's what comes with getting a new coach! We appreciate your patience and look forward to being more organized in the future!

• Sentsy: 
• Hopefully you already have your information for this one. This fundraiser IS optional, and any money you earn will go towards your $175 payment due in July. Please ignore the demerits text/call - I forgot that it was optional and just made a mistake. Sorry!
• Your Sentsy orders/money will be due Thursday, July 11.
• Pocket Calendars:
• We will be selling pocket calendars at each school's Back to School/Registration day. Each girl will be assigned a school/shift to sell the calendars - this part of the fundraiser is mandatory and profit will be split equally among the girls. If you would like to sell more calendars on your own time, this is optional and the profit would go towards your individual dues.
• Bowling Tournament:
• This year's tournament will be on Saturday, September 24th (means our choreography clinic will be moved to Sept 10). This fundraiser is mandatory - it has to be in order to be successful. We are hoping that this is where the majority of the remaining $600 per girl booster fee will come. More info to come!
• Pastry fundraiser:
• We do have the option of doing one more optional fundraiser - which means the profit you sell would go directly towards your dues. This one gives a 40% return (larger than Sentsy). We are happy to put this one together if parents want, but we don't want to waste our time if you are not interested. We will have the girls vote during practice next week - please let them know if you have a preference.

Whew! That was a lot of information! Thanks for your hard work! See you on Monday!
