Special Guard Message


This is the email for guard parents regarding Friday Night.

Guard/Parents:

Friday night we have a football game at St. Paul's. Instead of doing our regular half time show we will be performing our pep rally routine to Sir Duke. We have practiced this routine since July, by now everyone should know it and we expect everyone to perform. Tomorrow we will video our practice and anyone not performing to our expectations will be asked to sit out for half time and support your team on the sidelines. We have had a fabulous year so far and look forward to everyone giving their best as we come to end the season.

Personal Responsibility In Developing Excellence!
