Middle school cheerleaders worked hard at day two of camp and were rewarded for their efforts! First, they received the highly coveted spirit stick! During the evaluations today the girls earned a red excellent ribbon for their band chant and a blue superior ribbon for their situational chant! These girls are working extremely hard every minute of camp and it is showing!

At Day 2 of NCA Cheer camp the THS Varsity Cheerleaders received several awards. Their first awards were a Blue Ribbon for their situational chant and red ribbon for their band chant. We received a spirit stick for the 2nd day in a row. Their final award was the herkie award. The NCA Herkie Team Award is a prestigious honor given by the National Cheerleaders Association (NCA) to cheerleading squads who demonstrate exceptional teamwork, leadership, and embody the core values of the NCA during camp. It's named after NCA founder L.R.Herkimer, often called the "father of modern cheerleading". The award signifies a team that leads by example, encourages others, and upholds the values of spirit, teamwork, and hard work
