Show Your Spirit

BY MOLLY BECKER

This year’s Western Dubuque High School Cheerleading squad is bigger and better. With 13 girls on the squad, the children’s cheer camp was a breeze. Teaching 94 young girls from pre-K through eighth grade in the north gym of the high school was no small feat. The squad also had their own camp after the youth camp, during which they learned new techniques, cheers, and stunts. Camp included a team-building exercise in which the squad had to get their teammates across a sea of lava (a red wrestling mat) with a pair of imaginary magic shoes. Another team-building exercise was a cheer night out, where the whole squad spent an evening together, having fun. This year’s cheer night out was a sleepover, which included Twister ™, horror movies, and a team-bonding games. With the new squad prepped and ready to go, they are looking forward to the upcoming season!
