East Central Cheerleading

Busted Stereotype # 1:  Cheerleaders do not associate with those in other sports..especially “band nerds”
  
Kayla Gregg: 2008-09 member of the Golden Hornet marching band, not to mention the only freshman on the East Central Varsity Cheerleading squad. Who says you can’t do it all? Because this girl has come quite close! It’s been my pleasure to know Kayla for quite some time. She is the perkiest, sweetest freshman I know.  Always a smile on her face, and full of confidence. Being a freshman is a scary experience by itself. Feeling alone in a huge school of strangers, trying to “find yourself”, focusing on school work, and adding extra-curricular activities can be very stressful.  Every Friday night, my tiny flyer disappears into the crowd of black and gold, and reappear s on the football field, flute in hand, and ready to march. I admire her for her time management skills, and her ability to bust the stereotype!  Way to go Kayla! 

The East Central Cheerleading Squad is currently getting ready for competition evaluations. A coach from Pinnacle Cheer is coming to the school to see what skills we have. He’ll then make up a routine for our team, which currently consists of twelve members and three alternates.  We plan to attend the UCA national competition in Galveston, TX in January along with a few other, smaller competitions. It should be a great year for our team!  Also, Friday night football is going great! Although the team hasn’t won yet, they are playing great and we know they’ll pull it out! We cheer for our team, win or lose. We know how hard those boys work, and they certainly deserve a “well done”.  Our squad now has a new motto for this year of so much change:

“Under Construction: Rebuilding Hornet Pride!”

We are already trying to change the mindset of the students, and to let them know that school spirit is a must!  We hung up a banner with this motto on our construction wall, and all of the cheerleaders put their handprint on it and signed their name. When I came across the poster this morning, I found that many students had signed it as well. I see this as an indication that the school body is ready for change! This is a perfect time for our squad to showcase what we’re best at - spreading school spirit!

Hope you have a great week!
