CLICK HERE to access the Cheerleading Calendar for SY 2010-11.

     Thank you for your interest in joining the 2010-2011 cheerleading squad. We would like to welcome back the cheerleaders who cheered with us last year and welcome all new students who are interested in participating in cheerleading this year.   
     Cheerleading is very active and requires a large time commitment.  We emphasize respect, responsibility and team building. Since this is a team sport, each member is expected to attend every practice.   

 

 

Meeting Days:  Mondays and Thursdays after school from 3:00 – 4:00pm.
Starting in February 2011, we add an every Friday practice which is required for our competition team.

Positive Behavior Support (PBS): Panther cheerleading is sponsored by PBS.   Therefore, we expect our cheerleaders to demonstrate the highest levels of behavior, both in the classroom and out.  Students must maintain at least a “C” average in every class in order to participate.

Volunteer Opportunities:  There are many times parents can come and lend a hand.  Fundraising and carpooling to the competition are great times to volunteer.  There will be various opportunities throughout the year and help is always welcome.

We look forward to working with you this upcoming school year.  It is always exciting to begin a new cheer season!  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.  During the school day, students may come by Mrs. Oswalt’s classroom 128.  (Just do not be late for classJ).
