It's All About the Music!

Help me give my students a portable speaker to help us cheer loud and proud during school events and practices. My pep squad girls would love to nail their routines with the help of a portable speaker.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Townsend's classroom raised $275

My Students

As Spirit Raisers, my pep squad cheer girls promote and spread school spirit and pride throughout the year. These girls ranging from 2nd to 5th grade are hardworking students with good grades, they have great, positive attitudes, show sportsmanship, and the ability to follow rules and directions.

Cheerleading helps kids become healthy, active, and energetic.

My Project

A portable speaker can help our pep squad cheer girls with their routines, practices, and performances at sporting events.

Part of the foundation for a great cheer routine is the music, and what better way to perfect those performances is with a great-sounding portable speaker.

My pep squad team is in need of a Bluetooth portable speaker for our afterschool activities. We will use this speaker when we do our practices and while the girls are performing at our sporting events. The sound of music can be beneficial to perfecting cheer routines.
