Cheering to Victory

Help me give my students protective cheer gear to cheer the school to victory.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. White's classroom raised $291

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are a group of eager cheerleaders within Chicago Public Schools that range from 5th-8th. My students enjoy entertaining and using their talents to encourage themselves and others. My students govern themselves by being leaders, risk-takers, and great examples for other students within the school.

My Project

My cheerleaders are really excited about the upcoming season. It can be very difficult to fund the fees of sports. Therefore, this contribution would help us fund one of many things we need to make this season a success.

I am requesting cheer shorts that will help us create a unified team appearance.

Appearance is an essential component to being a leader and cheering our peers on victory. These cheer shorts will be used for competitions and games throughout the year.

As a cheer team, it is important that we operate as a unit in every way. We have worked hard to create an essential team attitude, behavior, and culture. When we look good we can perform even better.
