Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I am thrilled to kick off a brand-new cheer season with a team full of energy, spirit, and heart! I couldn’t be prouder of our cheerleaders and the dedication they bring to every practice and performance. Thanks to our new bows, tights, and cheer bags, our squad is not only looking sharp, but also staying organized and unified. These accessories help boost our confidence, team pride, and readiness to shine at every event. Here’s to a season full of spirit, success, and unforgettable moments!

My goal is to build a cheer team rooted in pride, fueled by confidence, and driven by unwavering dedication—where every member shines, supports one another, and brings their best to every performance.

My cheerleaders hold a special place in my heart, not just for their spirit and talent, but for the joy, dedication, and unity they bring to our team every single day. Watching them grow, support one another, and shine with confidence is one of the greatest rewards of being their coach.
