Bagging at Cub

Wow! What a busy weekend.
The bagging at Cub went very well.  It was intense at times, but a lot of fun.  the girls that attended did a superb job.  After we learned the rules-we got lots of compliments.  I received many compliments on how well the took directions, and how nice and polite they were and how we did not interfere with the workers of Cub.  We had a long and funny conversation with the lady from Rome.
Thank you to all of our dance helpers-Frankie, Darcy and her friend Kari, Michelle, Fortune, Abbi, Maddie, Sarah, Lilly, Kimberly and Jerick and Olivia.
Also  Thank you to all the Parents of the Dancers who helped-Susan, Harvey and Janet.
A special Thank you to Coach Brittany, who helped set up this event, and to Hayley and to Melanie who just needed a ride to work and was blackmailed into helping.
Thank you all for being able to help out on such short notice, especially after a full day at the Rochester Competition.  You devoted a lot of you time to help out the Roseville Raiderettes Dance Team.

Competition at Blaine

Can we get some volunteers to help provide a bag lunch and snacks for the girls for this competition?  I provided for the Rochester Competition the following:
Breakfast: 30 muffins, juice boxes, Gojurt(easier to eat on the bus-no spoons) and  pop tarts(a few in case the did not like muffins).
Lunch: Michelle and Fortune helped make 30 bag lunches with PB&J sandwiches, cookies(not dark cookies like Oreos-causes black teeth), animal crackers, suckers and smarties candy
Bus trip home:sent brownies.
If anyone can help provide something for the Blaine Competition, Please contact me at Jensen4@q.com

ROSEVILLE COMPETITION

WOW! We did it. We did a fantastic job on making the Competition on December 13th work.  Everyone deserves a HUGE ROUND OF APPLAUSE.  It was a SUCCESS.  Everyone that commented only had positive things to say.
This success would not have been possible without the cooperation and dedication of all the parents, grandparents, siblings and friends of all the dancers and coaches.  A huge Thank You goes to Coach Brittany for arranging all the details.  Hopefully next year, the Booster Club can take over more of the  responsibilities of making the arrangements to allow you more time for coaching.  Thank you.
To all the Volunteers, Thank you for your time and dedication.
WE DID IT!

What I learned in the car

I spent the last two Saturdays driving the girls around the neighborhoods of Roseville for the Fundraiser Blitz.  I learned a lot about my daughter and the other girls in the car.
I learned the determination of the girls, when the preserved going door to door even after: rejections, HBH's and slipping and falling.
I saw the joy when the made the sale or received a donation.
I saw the competitive spirit when one girl sold more than the other.
I learned their likes and dislikes about school, teachers, coaches and other people.
I learned how they  interacted with each other and myself. 
I saw how they encouraged each other.
I saw the joy they had for their teammate when she pulled out the fifty. 
I learned about my daughter and the people she is friends with.  
I know it was time well spent and I would do it again, just to learn more about my child.
I highly recommend spending time with your daughter and their friends, you can learn a lot it you take the time.

A Huge THANK YOU to all the parents that volunteered to help drive.  A Special THANK YOU to those who volunteered on both Saturdays of the Blitz.  We really appreciate your dedication to helping your daughter and the team.
