Greetings
Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a great back to school and weekend. The dancers are gearing up for the first pep rally and football game of the season. So exciting! We want to thank everyone that came to the Booster meeting last Tuesday. We made some updates to the by-laws and executive board. As mentioned in the meeting, to help with your dancer's fundraising efforts for the NYC trip, see below about an optional calendar fundraiser. This can help with any booster fees and to go towards the trip fees. Also, Homecoming is around the corner and the boosters help with decorations. It's a big job, but many hands make light work. If you are interested in serving on the committee, please come to Mrs. Moore's house this Thursday, August 17 at 6pm. Thank you! 💙

September CALENDAR FUNDRAISER- PICK A DATE TO DONATE
If you are still looking for sponsors or need support for drill team expenses and the NYC trip, consider participating in the optional Calendar Fundraiser where you ask friends and family member to pick a date to donate. Below is a picture calendar for Instagram and/or Facebook so you can share on your personal social media pages if you like. How does it work? Have people choose a calendar day to sponsor. They will donate the amount of money equal to the corresponding number (i.e. Sep. 20 equals donating $20). Keep going until every day is sponsored (a person could technically sponsor more than one day if need be). You will collect the money and then submit the money to our Treasurer Shannon or Assistant Misty so it can be credited to your daughter's account. Doing this optional fundraiser in September will allow us to get a check to Greenlight for the trip and apply to your dancers' accounts before Pumpkin Rolls, so you can see how many rolls they need to sell. We hope this helps!
team trip- NYC March 8-11, 2024
Trip update: a few members were added by Greenlight to the waitlist. Greenlight is working on securing more seats and a second bus while we are in NYC, once registration is reopened from Greenlight, dancers and chaperones will be officially added to the trip and at that time the registration fee will be posted. We will post in Groupme and an email when those members are added from the waitlist.
Directors' Corner- Ms. Ibanez & Ms. Blankenship
FOOTBALL SEASON is here! These dancers are working on some super fun pep rally routines and halftime performances. Be sure to come out and support our dancers at these performances. Pep Rally attendees will enter by the front door closest to the front office and make their way to the main gym. If you are able to attend a performance, I would love to see everyone's photos and memories added to each photo circle so everyone can see everything we've done this year as a team. I want to personally thank our board and new board members for helping keep Raiderettes operations as smooth as possible. Lastly, don't forget to share your SnapRaise Fundraiser, our team as a whole has raised over $7,900 already and we still have 22 days left to raise funds for your dancer. Have a fabulous week! - Ibanez
