Season Nears Completion
After cheering at SIX boys games, TWO boys tournaments, and participating in TWO Cheer Competitions, our Cheerleading Squad has had quite a busy season. With just the MVL Tournament remaining (February 22nd & 23rd), the season's completion will be "bitter-sweet". Although they have been busy, the squad has really blossomed and become quite impressive. With several 8th graders preparing to say goodbye to the Badger Cheerleading Squad, many positive experiences and memories will highlight 2012 / 2013.
Please check back soon for several autobiographical accounts of the Cheerleading Season.

Cheerleading Update
On Wednesday, November 7th, the Governing Board of Big Springs Union Elementary School District approved a "year-to-year" Cheer Program Stipend, which will fully fund/support the program in 2012/2013, and revisit the program's funding annually. This means that the program will operate as it did last year, with no cutbacks and a fully paid coaching position. As was the case last year, students may participate in both Basketball AND Cheerleading!
Beginning on Monday, November 26th, the program will begin with annual tryouts and include interested students (Boys & Girls) in grades 5th thru 8th.
Tryouts will begin on Monday, November 26th and run thru Friday, November 30th.
Tryouts will be held outside, next to the Gym (weather permitting). On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, Tryouts will run from 4:00pm to 5:00pm. On Tuesday and Thursday, Tryouts will run from 3:30pm to 4:30pm. Practices will run concurrently with Boys Basketball Practice, but will not conflict with Girls Basketball Practice. Please dress in appropriate attire, and follow all dress code regulations.
A detailed practice schedule will be sent home following the first day of Tryouts (Monday, November 26th), and will include all practices, which begin on December 3rd and run thru mid February.
Interested students must attend every day of tryouts (beginning Monday, November 26th), and all practices (beginning in December). Students must remain academically eligible for the entire season (minimum 2.0 GPA and no failing grades), and have their 2012/2013 physicals completed prior to the first basketball game. Each participating student must be cleared to play by his or her teacher. Appropriate behavior at both school and all practices/games is an important factor in determining eligibility as well.
Please review your handouts as they are sent home, and contact Mr. Hosler or Mr. Pindell if you have any questions. Thank you for your support, cooperation, and understanding with this process. We appreciate all of the feedback, from students and parents alike.
Also, please visit the 7th/8th Grade website (www.bse78.weebly.com) for up-to-the-minute updates and information.
Thanks again for your support! Go Badgers!
