Help the Ranger Cheerleaders Improve their Tumbling Skills!

Help me give my students the chance to grow out of the Jr. High and Varsity Cheer program with much-needed tumbling equipment. Cheerleaders will be able to improve their tumbling skills with this wedge mat, octagon mat, and panel mat.

My Project

One of my favorite things about teaching and coaching at RHS is getting to know the kids and watching them achieve their goals. Our Ranger cheerleading program is growing and I would like to help our cheerleaders achieve their goals of winning a Big 8 title in competitive cheer.

Currently, our girls are lacking in tumbling skills and the equipment necessary to make significant gains.

I am asking donors to help our cheerleaders get the equipment needed to gain the necessary skills that will allow them to be contenders for the Big 8 Conference title and advance past districts in competitive cheer. Please consider helping our program and our students reach their goals and continue to be successful in the sport that we love.
