Travel, Performing, Competition 2026-2027: 10/23/26 Friday Trunk or Treat 6-8 pm Elkridge Elementary

WE NEED SOME HELP Sign ups on the last portion of this show. PLEASE sign up. I also could use some high schoolers to attend this show and help hand out candy and fliers, not only is this for our team, but it would count as any service hours needed for school or activity.

UNIFORMS:

If you have any warm ups that do not fit your jumper anymore. PLEASE donate them to the Kangaroo Kids. We are in need of warm ups. Maybe you ordered extra pants or a jacket when they grew? Can we have the outgrown set back please?

UNIFORM COMMITTEE: WE NEED YOU! Next year we will have to order new warm ups. So join the committee now to help make choices for the next year. Meetings will be online. You will do some online research for prices etc. This counts as service hours, while helping to do a great service for our team for next year. Please join Jill Calhoun. Let her know you would like to be a part of this committee! jcdnd90@gmail.com
