Cheer Coach Mrs. Ponce:
I love my cheerleaders because they come to every practice with positive attitudes, eager to learn new chants, dances, and skills.

They work hard to balance their academics while modeling positive behavior as proud representatives of our school.
Most of all, they are passionate about spreading school spirit and making sure every one of our sports teams feels supported, encouraged, and celebrated. The materials on the list will help ensure our Cheerleaders have all the materials they need for the year. They truly make a positive impact on our school community!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.

More than half of students from low‑income households
20 students impacted

DONATE HERE:
