Cheer Shoes for Team Unity

Help me give my students cheerleading shoes for their competition so that they can look and feel like a uniform team!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Tully's classroom raised $638

This project is fully funded

My Project

These cheerleading shoes will help our school's cheerleading team by ensuring every student has a shoe that is easy to cheer in. The students on the cheerleading team are working together amazingly. This is our school's second year having cheerleading since the pandemic, and we are working together to build a strong team of girls from 5th to 8th grade. Our team will go on to cheer on our basketball teams at games on Saturdays, as well as competing against other schools during competition. Some of the other teams that they will compete against have had decades of prior teams at their schools.

With these cheerleading shoes, our cheerleading team will look uniform and ready to to compete.

These cheerleading shoes will help our students perform tricks easily, as they are lightweight and easy to lift when getting into pyramid formation. They will also complete the look of our team uniforms. These shoes can also be used in years to come.

These students come to practice before school to create and practice routines, a true dedication to their craft. Our team is language diverse, and the cheerleaders do not let language be a barrier, but they all help one another to be the best that they can be.
