CHEER wins Community Service Award!

Congrats to all our BNHS Cheerleaders for winning the Community Service award for the 2nd year! Remember that the reason we strive for this is not b/c of the status or Award that is displayed in our trophy case. The reason we do these activities is to help people in our community that support you in return; learning to give of your talents and time is the most valuable lesson you can learn and will give you more joy than any piece of paper or trophy :)

Thank you Brooke, Alicia, Megan, and Woody for volunteering at the Rockford Marathon & kicking off Community Service for this year!

Tuesday, Oct. 27th, 3:30 - 5:30 PM

Wednesday, Oct. 28th 8-10 PM

Varsity Requirements:

Excellent motion technique; excellent jumps
Double toe (triple toe preferred), pike, TT-flip flop, pike/FF
STANDING FLIP FLOP preferred, running tumbling
* If you do not have your standing FF, this doesn't mean you shouldn't try out :) Your other skills should be outstanding, however!

Letter from Joan Lund and Sister Cities: "Please tell Amy and all the girls how much we appreciate their help again this year. BNHS Cheer is one impressive group of hard-working young people! Everyone did her assigned job perfectly; I could not ask for a better group of helpers. Having the girls as helpers makes my life alot easier b/c I don't have to recruit from our membership, some of whom would be reluctant to volunteer.

I wish you and the girls much success in your cheerleading competitions in 2008-09. Please say "yes" to joining us at Pig Roast 2009. You are a great addition to our event and we salute you!"

Joan Lund, Pig Roast Chairman

Activities from 2007

THANK YOU to all of you who did Facepainting at Jack Wolf!

"Sock-It-To-'em" Night

AWESOME job collecting socks, girls! Special thanks to our Freshlet squad, who did most of the collection and visited with our veterans! We collected over 520 pairs of socks to be distributed to our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan!

BNHS Cheer - Shoes for the Homeless Drive! We will be collecting used men's athletic shoes at the Fall Parent meeting on August 5th - please SPREAD THE WORD! These shoes will be donated to Carpenter's Place in Rockford, which assists chronically homeless men, and assists them with employment needs! Tell all your guy friends to bring those shoes!

Sister Cities donates style="BORDER-RIGHT: 2px inset; PADDING-RIGHT: 3px; BORDER-TOP: 2px inset; PADDING-LEFT: 3px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 3px; MARGIN: -3px; BORDER-LEFT: 2px inset; WIDTH: 100%; PADDING-TOP: 3px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 2px inset; POSITION: relative; HEIGHT: 100%; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #fff1e5"00 to BNHS Cheer!
Because of our wonderful helpers, Sister Cities of Belvidere donated style="BORDER-RIGHT: 2px inset; PADDING-RIGHT: 3px; BORDER-TOP: 2px inset; PADDING-LEFT: 3px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 3px; MARGIN: -3px; BORDER-LEFT: 2px inset; WIDTH: 100%; PADDING-TOP: 3px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 2px inset; POSITION: relative; HEIGHT: 100%; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #fff1e5"00 to BNHS Cheer! They were so delighted with our help, it was voted on at their board meeting in July to give us this generous donation! Thanks, Sister Cities and Brad/Donna Peters!

Skylar, Ali, Carissa, Jessica, Bailey, "Brooksey", "Bubbles"& Gabby helped out at the Belvidere Sister Cities Pigroast on Saturday night! I received this letter from Executive Board Member, Joan Lund:

"The girls were wonderful last night at the pig roast! We put them to work right away, and they made things go very smoothly. In particular, at the dessert tables, my member volunteers did not show up as planned, so the girls took over and handled it very well. They all had dinner on us when their shift was over. Besides that, some members offered donations for the squad, and I am sure that more will be coming. It seems like a win-win situation for both of us: good publicity for the cheerleaders and needed help for Sister Cities, so maybe we can repeat it again next year?" - Joan Lund

THANK YOU girls! This is what it's all about - being exemplary ambassadors for your school. When you help others, good things come your way as well :) Jodi, Amy and I are proud of you!

PS. Does anyone have photos from this event???

Rummage Sale Profits '09
The new location for our Rummage Sale was not quite as profitable but we will keep at it! It could have been the torrential rain on Friday that didn't help either. Profits were $613.43

Dunk Tank a success again!

Dunk Tank Dominates Boone Co. Fair!!!
Awesome job this week at the fair girls! I'm not sure on the exact $ count yet but I'm sure it boosted the line in our megaphone! -Rina- It was around $1,700!

Fleecers Strike Again
10 girls and 3 moms assembled in Tammy's basement for more blanket-making! We decided to tie the edges, as it seemed faster and cuter, and people can take blankets home! Alicia was a mad seamstress, and we now have Stephanie Scissorhands on the JV squad. Katelyn and Alicia each took home 3 blankets to work on at home, which brings us to a total of 14 for that day! Other girls who attended were: Lexi B., Brooke, Megan, Rina, Courtney, Shay, and Cydney. Special thanks once again to Kari Boling for sewing, and Lisa Rangel for tying and treats!

Junior "Junior" Camp brings in $144! Rina, Aggie, Ashlee, Katelyn, Stephanie, Alyssa and Megan spent 3 hours Friday afternoon doing a party for fourteen 5 yr. olds! They taught a cheer, jumps, boogie chants, etc. Of course the little girls' favorite thing was "little Sally Walker". Alyssa Peterson and her mom made really cute "dirt" cups! It was definitely a challenge keeping them entertained for such a long time. Great job girls. Makes you think twice about being a kindergarten teacher, right???

Rummage/Bake Sale a HUGE success!! Thanks to Henneberry Motors and the Shawd family, our Rummage/Bake sale was a total success! Approximately $2,000 was collected in sales from the rummage sale, baked goods, and fleece blankets/scarves!(Check out the megaphone!) Everyone who was scheduled to work showed up on time with their baked goods! Not only did we earn money toward our goal, it was alot of fun as well! Some have asked...will this be an annual event?? Extra special thanks to Henneberry Motors, Tom Giglio, Wicked Brew, and Sam's Club for their gracious donations. Thanks also to all of you who donated clothing, household items, baked goods, etc. for the sale. Without your hard work it could not have been possible. Leftover items will be donated to Salvation Army of Belvidere, and the Ida Public Library. If you have a table to be picked up, you can do that during business hours - tables are lined up against the wall in the back building. Way to go BNHS families!!

Freaky Fleecers12 girls met at Marina's on one of the HOTTEST days of the summer to make fleece blankets/scarves! We made a total of 23 scarves, (plus 10 more that just need fringing), and 6 blankets! We found out it's not as quick as we thought - but it gave us lots of "bonding and gossip" time! Special thanks to Deb Shawd for hosting us, and to Kari Boling for instructing us on how to make them! We'll meet again in July to make more blankets, so those of you who didn't do it this time will have another chance! Participants this time were: Kalenna, Lexi R., Taylor, Stanzie, Kristin H., Gabby, Kara, Brittany, Aggie, Ashlee B., Skylar, and Marina. (Our chipmunk Shayleigh stopped by to drop off a machine - buy the poor girl a milkshake!)
We're taking orders now for blankets/scarves! Anyone wanting to place an order e-mail northcheerleaders@insightbb.com

Carissa's Makeup Crew
...adds another $100 to our campaign! Carissa, Paulina, Skylar and Nikkole
applied makeup, did hair and nails, and got 3 little girls ready for their
dance recital last Friday/Saturday. THANK YOU for donating your
time, girls!

Cheer Birthday Parties
We will be hosting birthday parties for girls ages 5-11 at their homes for $125. Four cheerleaders will be needed for each party to teach them cheers. We will also provide cupcakes, crafts, party favors and a present for the birthday girl. There will be a 10 - 15 guest limit. Spread the word!

Mad Mulchers Strike it Rich - $250!
Skylar, Kristin K., Alyssa F., Jackie, and Presley (Poopie) earned us our first $250 for our "account"! These girls rolled out of bed early to spread a HUGE pile of mulch for 2 1/2 hrs., and reduced the pile to nothing! You prissy girls look out! These girls got down and dirty and worked like Thunder! Watch for photos to be posted on Boonecountysports.com and this website. Way to go girls - we are proud of you and thank you for your hard work! Maybe we want to do this again w/some other volunteers???
