My Project

We are excited to start a cheerleading team this year. This means we need everything to get us going. As we start building this program, we need cheer bows for hair and accessories. I need cheer pom poms, for the girls to cheer our teams on to victory. I hope to help provide as many cheer items as I can to lessen the burden on our families.

Teamwork makes the dream work.

Our school family is working very hard together to give our kids a memorable experience in cheer. Your support is very much needed as we help put smiles on our girls' faces. I am looking forward to seeing our girls dressed as a team from head-to-toe, in their uniforms, with cheer pom poms.
