GAME UPDATE

Hello DMS Cheerleaders & Families, 

I have just received an update regarding the football game this week. 

Due to extreme weather and heat index, all football games have been postponed and rescheduled to Monday the 16th

Cheerleaders: We will STILL be having practice on Thursday at Donelson Middle, so rides plan on regular practice schedule pick-up both Wednesday (tomorrow) and Thursday (9/12) at 5:30pm.

Next week: We will have 2 football games (rescheduled game on Monday at Litton, as well as our scheduled game on Thursday!) 

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns :)  

Go Jets!

Cheer Blast 9/5

Practice Review:

This week continued to learn cheers for our first game! We are only 2 practice away from our first game.  I also checked to see if all cheerleaders had the items they need for the first game.


Additionally, if cheerleaders did not have the items I checked at last practice, I will be checking for them on Monday.


Upcoming Events:

The next practice will be Monday, September 9th.


Reminder --- Our first game is next Thursday!

Cheerleaders must be at Litton Middle School at 4:45pm. Cheerleaders’ parent/guardians are responsible for transportation. If you are unable to obtain transportation, please text Coach Wardlaw ASAP!


Cheerleader ToDo’s:

Practice, practice, practice! Memorize all the cheers we have learned so far!

Make sure you have all the items you need for the first game. (See list below).


First game attire:

  • black athletic shorts
  • plain white t-shirt
  • poms
  • white cheer shoes
  • purple bows
  • Cheer socks

  • **If you do not have any of these items please make sure you get them (borrow!) by the first game (September 12th!) If you do not have them for the game, you will not be able to participate.

  • Next practice I will be doing a check to make sure cheerleaders have ALL additional uniform items. (i.e. gold bow, half top, briefs, etc.)

    Continue to make me proud around school (help someone out, be respectful, spread kindness, etc.)

    CHEERLEADER SHOUT-OUT:
    Shout-out to Story for her creative ideas at practice and great attitude. Shout-out to Kendall for always meeting practice expectations and taking off all jewelry to have a safe practice. Keep up the good work ladies.

    Parent ToDo’s:
    Make sure your cheerleader has the items she needs for the first game, as well as all the additional items they need to complete their uniform (links below).

    Make sure your cheerleader has a ride to and from the first away game at Litton!

    Thank you to all the parents who have given extra t-shirts, shoes, and shorts to the squad! We really appreciate it :)
