Cheerleader of the Week 🌟
We’re back in the new year and starting it off by celebrating our youngest squad member — Meika! 💜
As a freshman, Meika has been on the quieter side, but we’ve absolutely loved watching her come into her own as the season has gone on. She’s sweet as sugar, kind, and such a steady presence on the team.
Between dance, volleyball, band, choir, and cheer, she balances it all with grace, and we’re so excited for the future seasons ahead as we continue to watch her grow, gain confidence, and shine even brighter.
We’re so proud of you, Meika — this is just the beginning! ✨📣
Middle school SAIL students were responsible for creating minute-to-win-it style games. It was a fun process but also a great learning opportunity for understanding how to relay clear instructions. Boy, do we have some competitive participants as well!
