Park City Football Game!

On Friday, Wasatch had their rival game against Park City! A lot of the Waspettes went to support our team along with tons of the other student body and parents. It looked just like a home game! The Wasatch Wasps left with a victory, 49-14. Awesome job boys!

Excited for the game to start!

Football game!

Last Thursday, the Wasatch Wasps had an away football game at Union. This was the second to last game before the playoffs. They won 42-7! Good job boys! If they win the next game against Park City (also away) then we will have the home field advantage which means another home game! Play hard boys!!

Some of the Waspettes at the game!

Remembering Mia

This weekend, our hearts were heavy for our little Waspette, Mia Mcdonald. Mia is the daughter of our assistant coach Mimi. Mia passed away on October 8, 2012. We will miss this darling little girl, who we loved to see come and support the Waspettes while we danced. She's touched so many lives and we will always leave her a special place in our hearts. We love you Mia!

Sweet Mia

Hearts for the Mcdonald family. Our hearts are with you!

Mia Marie McDonald - 2008-2012 Mia Marie McDonald, beloved daughter of John and Marie “Mimi” Jensen McDonald returned home to her Heavenly Parents on October 8, 2012. Mia was born on July 8, 2008, in Seattle, Washington. Mia came into this world with challenges, but our baby girl came prepared to live life fully. Her family knew from the time of her birth that she would need a heart transplant. After many prayers on her behalf, Mia received the much awaited heart transplant when she was just four months old, from her angel heart donor Jacob. She is our little miracle and we feel blessed for every day we had with her. She had a special way of endearing others to her and connected with people everywhere she went. Her sunny and infectious personality would fill any room. She loved music and would dance instinctively. She loved singing primary songs, playing with her “babies,” coloring, eating “chocits” going to preschool, calling her “Aunt Nats,” giving “essimo kisses” and giggling. We will miss her affectionate, sweet, spunky and fun personality. This darling girl had a mischievous side and she would relish teasing her brothers and sisters, and loved when people would laugh when she said something funny. Mia exuded joy. Her tiny body radiated light every day of her life. Last week, the Make-A-Wish Foundation granted Mia’s special wish to meet Minnie Mouse in Disney World. Upon arrival, she became ill and after being hospitalized her heart stopped beating. Although her heart recovered, the trauma to her tiny brain could not recover from injuries incurred while they were trying to resuscitate her. Darling Mia never made it to Disney World, but she will be giving someone else the gift of life by now being on the giving end of organ donation. Although few, we will cherish the sweet years we shared with our golden curled beauty, Mia. She will be dearly missed by her parents, her brothers Jensen and Sam, and her adoring second mother, her sister Ellie. She is also survived by her grandparents Sid and Cindy Jensen of Midway, UT, Dean and Laura Conway of Spanaway, WA, and Vern and Carol McDonald of Lakewood, WA, as well as numerous aunts, uncles, and 60 cousins. She was preceded in death by her great-grandparents Murray Giles, Fred and Aliene Jensen, Howard and Shirley Hallmeyer, and Floyd Vernon McDonald. We love you Miss Meena, our arms and hearts ache to be with you and hold you. We anxiously await the time when we will be reunited. “I missed you in na night!” Funeral services will be held at 11am on Saturday, October 13 at the Midway Stake Center. A gathering will be held from 6pm to 8pm on Friday Oct 12th, and one hour prior to the services on Saturday. Mia will be interred in the Midway Cemetery. Please join us in the celebration of her courageous, joyful, life.

Miss Drill Utah

We will be holding a very important "Miss Drill Utah" Clinic to prepare any and all solo dancers from your drill team, that may be interested in competing in the "Miss Drill or Teen Miss Drill Utah" pageant this year. At the clinic they will receive a packet of information, one on one training for the 3 categories (modeling, solo, and interview/onstage question), as well as information on our Humanitarian Service Project. There will be a lady coming to talk to the contestants about a wonderful Humanitarian Project that we can all be involved in. The cost for the clinic is $5.00 per girl. Each dancer needs to have a parent with them.

 

The clinic date is:
October 1st at Juan Diego High School @ 6:30pm (it will last 2 - 2.5 hours). This clinic will last longer than any other clinic that we are going to try to hold throughout these next couple of months, and it's at the location that we hold the actual pageant.

We will also be doing a short clinic following each All-State audition. Please talk to your coach about details on when and where this is. You can still attend this even if you are not an All-State member.

The pageant will be held on February 7-8th at Juan Diego High School Auditorium. We have reserved both days depending on the amount of contestants that we have. We will either do prelims on Thursday evening and Finals on Friday evening. Or prelims right after school on Thursday, and Finals that same evening. This will be decided after we know the total # of contestants.

Please remember that if you are not 16 years old, you can still enter in the TEEN category.

Thanks for your support!
