My Project

We are starting up Cheerleading at my school to support the new sports teams we have. Our scholars have been so excited to finally be able to participate in sports, so we want to effectively cheer them on. With your help, our cheerleaders will be able to proudly support and cheer on our sports teams by being in full uniform themselves. A huge part of being a cheerleading squad is having a uniform look, so your assistance will provide our girls with the additional necessities of bows, socks, and cheer bags to look like an official team. Additionally, we will be able to provide the girls with snacks to consume during our after-school practices.

As we all know the best way to help with school spirit is to have a cheerleading squad, so we need your help with getting up and running.

We need some essential cheerleading accessories like, bows and cheer bags, so your support will go a long way! Please help this brand-new cheerleading squad show their spirit in the best way possible!
