With the start of this year’s basketball season comes the beginning of another exciting cheer season!
This year, there are several new faces on the cheer squad, as well as several seasoned members. Coached by Stacy Halter, a total of nine cheerleaders can be seen spreading school spirit at every basketball game.
The team includes seniors Lily Cook, Hallie Halter, Madison Massa, Taylor Schreckenberg, and Wil Seiler; sophomores Ashlynn Massa, Paula Redondo, and Rylie Schreiner; and freshman Savannah Jansen.
The cheerleaders go to many basketball games near and far to cheer on the team. They show off elaborate cheers at pep rallies throughout the year, and they perform two dances during the season. One dance is only the cheer squad, performed on the night of Homecoming. And the other dance is performed with the K-6 cheer squad, an exciting event for students all throughout the ages at Leopold. The cheerleaders debuted their skills at the Gatorade game and the Woodland Invitational Tournament and can be seen next at the Leopold vs. Zalma game at home Friday, Dec. 13.
