My Project

On behalf of our cheerleading team, I want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your incredible generosity. Your support has provided us with the much-needed tumbling mats, cheer shorts, and cheer bows, making a tremendous impact on our young athletes. Because of your kindness, our team can now practice safely, perform confidently, and represent our school with pride.

The tumbling mats will be a game-changer, allowing our cheerleaders to perfect their stunts and routines without fear of injury.

The cheer shorts ensure comfort during practice, allowing for unrestricted movement, while the cheer bows bring a sense of unity and excitement to our team spirit. Your contribution has not only given us essential equipment but has also fueled the enthusiasm and confidence of each cheerleader.

Your generosity reminds us that there are amazing people who believe in the potential of young athletes and their dreams. Thanks to you, our team can continue to grow, learn, and shine both on and off the field. We are beyond grateful for your support and look forward to making you proud in every performance. We really appreciate your donations to our students. Thanks again, I look forward to working with you.

Thank you for believing in us!

With sincere appreciation,

Mrs. Favors-Nelson Riverdale Middle School Grades 6-8
