My Project

This year I began a cheerleading program at our school, which has not only been an amazing experience for our students but has brought so much spirit to our school. Cheerleading has given many students something to look forward to at school each day. The academic eligibility that cheer requires has motivated our students to work harder in their classes.

These mats would help enhance our program by allowing our students to safely tumble.

Our students have so much talent, and these mats would allow them to express their skills.
