Good Afternoon Pom Families: GREAT JOB TO ALL THE GIRLS ON THEIR PERFORMANCES THIS PAST WEEK! THEY DID A WONDERFUL JOB! I am linking the video of Wednesday's performance if you were unable to come and see if live to watch! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zsNGRCSkgf5Re5s9Dg4BK6_hCHtJjhLS/view?usp=drive_link THE POM STORE IS STILL OPEN!!! If you want to purchase any specific CMS Poms spirit wear, please use this link. Funds go directly towards CMS poms! Deadline for ordering is 11/3! https://cmspoms2024.itemorder.com/shop/home/ Pictures are scheduled for 11/6. The girls will still have practice after pictures until 4:30 like usual. Please make sure the girls are keeping communication with us in regards to absences so we know if they are excused or unexcused. If they have missed 3 unexcused practices, they are dismissed from the team (per the CMS athletic handbook). Eligibility was run this afternoon. If your athlete is failing a class, they are required to attend study tables all next week until 4:00. They are then to attend practice afterward. Failure to show for study tables and practice afterward counts as an unexcused absence. If an athlete is ineligible 3 weeks in a row, they are dismissed from the team as well.

Hello all, Sorry for the late message but I was just made aware of this change for this year regarding after the games. In order to take your child home instead of the bus you will need to have printed off a release form from 8 to 18, and have it filled out. If you go to 8 to 18 via the district page, and then click on resources at the top and it is the second selection down. Thank you.

Good evening. Wanted to send a message out regarding tomorrow's game. Blue will be playing at East Coloma at 5, the bus will be leaving at 4:15, players will need to be at the athletic center lobby dressed at 4. I will have a sign out sheet after the game if you wish to sign your child out and not ride the bus. Plan for there to be 2 games I have not been told there is but we will in most cases when we do not play with gold to have a B game with a running clock. Please let me know if there are additional questions, have a good night.
