To kick-off the Competitive Cheer season and help promote the community of cheer, the teams held a one program, one meal for all of Plainwell Cheer last night. For the event, they had almost 80 girls at the Middle and High School level, as well as their families attend where they shared a meal and each High Schooler received one “little” on the Middle School team who they will be supporting throughout the season. The coaching staff also explained competitive cheerleading and how judging works for those who are new to the program. It was an amazing event, we are excited to see where this sport is going at PCS! PLAINWELL PRIDE!
