My Project

Hello and thank you for viewing our story. My students and I are excited to have a cheer team at our school. My students are hard-working, energetic, creative young ladies. The school was excited to have many girls sign up to be apart. We now have a cheer team of 12 girls! But we need your help.

Our students attend a low-income school and there are essential items we are in need of.

Our main priorities are this group of cheerleaders feel special about themself. This is more than cheer. We want our students to value each other and themselves, know their worth and build their confidence. We will be working on team building and life skills that can be used in and out of school.

There are many items needed to have a great cheer team. We are asking for a few items. Our biggest item we are in need of is our cheer shoes. The rest of the items (bows, leggings, shorts, t-shirts and pom-poms) will assist in having a uniformed cheer team. When we all feel and look good, we perform our best! Thank you again for your time and I hope you can help this wonderful group of cheerLEADERS.
