Junior cheerleaders work out at a holiday cheer camp.
“Hey! Hey, you! There’s nothing you can do! ’Cause the black and the white is gonna stomp all over you!”
The Sisters Middle School gym reverberated with that cheer and dozens of others as 53 junior cheerleaders spent the day learning the art and sport of cheerleading on Monday, January 16.
The junior cheerleading camp was organized by cheerleading coach Sarina Henderson and staffed by assistant coaches drawn from the Sisters Middle School cheerleading squad.
The camp ran from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Monday, when kids were out of school for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
The camp participants learned multiple cheers, did a craft and made cupcakes — and they were thoroughly worn out by the end of the day’s activities.
Volunteers from the camp were invited to the high school gym on Tuesday, January 17, to perform during halftime at the Sisters Outlaws home basketball game.
