What a year this has been...a learning year for sure. Lots to think on and lots to change but I am in it for the long haul and willing to help in all aspects to make the cheer program better and better each year at Mishawaka High School. I think we have come a long way even in one year. I was VP of the Cavemen Cheer Club and can happily say we helped form a competitive cheer team and we approached the school as a unit and changed the way the school views cheer - they made it a sport and for each season...football and basketball. And rightly so. Our girls cheered alot. And practiced just as much. Those were just two things I am happy to have accomplished this year!
I made the cute decorations for the tables and the food was catered by Fazoli's at our banquet. I think everyone liked the decorations - got plenty of compliments...and two of them actually walked off...guess some liked them too much. Had a very nice slideshow presentation and enjoyed each other's company. Tryouts are to begin the week after Spring Break already.
The four freshmen JV cheerleaders from this year below...Brooke, Kylee, Gabi and Alivia
And this gem...Sophie Tobolski...Gabi's and my favorite Senior. What an awesome role model. This girl took Gabi under her wing when she had to cheer her first Varsity game and was a bit nervous being with the "older" girls. She left Gabi tonight with a letter. In it she explained how she wanted to be a role model for the younger cheerleaders. Also gave her some great advice for high school.
1. Do your homework
2. Try to find your real friends...FAST! Your oldest friends are most likely the best ones you have.
3. Boys suck!
4. Make time for yourself
5. You're NEVER alone!
She says to Gabi at then end of her letter,
"No matter what life throws at you, I know you will handle it with a smile on your face and a big bow in your hair"
How perfect is that???? I love this girl!
And Coach Lori with the JV freshmen...love her!
