Presidential Ponderings . . . . .

 

 

WOW!!!  What a way to start off contest season.  The Premier Panteras are truly "Premier".  All the hard work put in by the girls and Mrs. Cardwell has truly paid off.  I can't tell you how many compliments I heard from other team's parents in the stands about our team.  Way to go Panteras and Mrs. Cardwell, we are so proud of all of you!

Thanks to all the Prop Parents for spending countless hours scraping, painting, glittering, hauling, carrying, sewing and setting up our beautiful back drops.  The hard work really paid off, they looked fantastic. 

This year will be over before we know it, so we are beginning to plan for the 2003/2004 Pantera Booster Club.  The nominating committee will be hard at work this week putting together a slate of nominees for next year's board and committee chairs.  If you are a returning parent, prepare yourself for a "would you be willing to?" call.  Thanks to Mika Simpson, Brenda Davenport, and Joy Brandon for volunteering to serve on this committee.  We will be electing next year's officers and committee chairs at our next general meeting on March 17th.

I hope everyone can make it to Allen next Saturday to support our girls at their next contest.  I know the girls appreciate all the parents’ support and dedication to the team.  You all are AWESOME!
