Our campus has been around for over 13 years. Our students have been able to participate in Basketball, Cross Country, Baseball, and Softball, but our campus was missing something important that could uplift the entire school. Five girls across the three schools housed at our campus pushed for the creation of the first official Bulldogs Cheerleading Squad. We are a group of 23 young ladies who are dedicated to leading the school in spirit. The items requested are some of the basic items we need but cannot afford. Because we are a brand new program, the majority of our budget has gone to the purchase of uniforms. We are still in need of the undergarments and accessories that can allow us to cheer confidently. We are hard-working young ladies who need to feel comfortable in our uniforms. These requested items would allow us to perform freely without any fears of dreaded wardrobe malfunctions.
