My Project

My incredible cheerleaders have been diligently working on their cheer-dance routine for the upcoming cheer competition. I would love to send my cheerleaders to competition with new custom matching team zip-up hoodies. The team practice zip-up hoodies will acknowledge my cheerleaders' hard work and dedication. I will print our school's logo and Tiger mascot using a Cricut Machine, then use a heat press to create the custom practice uniforms. These custom practice zip-up hoodies will be a surprise gift to the cheerleaders and presented to them on the day of the cheerleading competition. Help me celebrate my team's hard work and dedication.
