Cheering on Community Partnerships

Help me give my students an experience performing their cheers at a college level event!

FULLY FUNDED! Teacher Young's classroom raised $663

This project is fully funded

My Students

The CSS junior varsity cheerleading team is composed of talented, dedicated, intelligent, and diverse students who travel from all over the New York City Metropolitan area to attend. Our school is a select STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) school in partnership with Columbia University. We are the only select STEM school that represents the true diverse margins of New York City.

This team has grown immensely and brings school spirit in all it does.

This year, we made our national debut and performed at the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade. This last fall we also performed at Columbia University for one of their football games! Other notable accomplishments include: winning several competitions and held a clinic for younger students to give them the opportunity and access to cheerleading. The enthusiasm our team has is not only for our school but also to share our pride with the community.

My Project

After a successful performance in the fall at Columbia's Football game and last year at their basketball game, our squad has been invited to perform at Columbia University! For our new 6th grade members, this will be their first performance ever! They have worked so hard perfecting their stunting, tumbling, and dancing skills.

This performance will give our Spirit Squad the opportunity to showcase all their hard work to not only our school, but also the rest of the community.

We are also using this event as a team learning activity. They will be able to observe and learn from the college cheerleaders performances. Observation is a big part of learning and by doing so, they can see good technique and be exposed to other stunts that they may one day execute too!
