Busy Weekend for MHS Cheerleaders

The MHS Varsity and Junior Varsity cheer leaders did an absolutely fantastic job Wednesday at the Welcome Back Assembly. The student body is primed and ready for all the upcoming sporting events! And, although it was a long ride to Hillsboro, they overcame the butterflies in their stomachs for the first game of the year and kept the crowd cheering for the Bulldogs! We didn't get a win, but it was a great game.

Saturday several varsity and jv cheerleaders volunteered to help collect money at the local air show for the Veteran's Home. They were superb!!! Some came early and some stayed later than their assigned shifts! It was a warm day, but they were troopers! A HUGE amount was collected for our local veteran's home. The adults in charge could not thank them enough! And, a giant Bulldog thank you goes out to the local Elk's Lodge for supplying our girls with water, soda, and sandwiches! Working together it is absolutely amazing what can be accomplished!

Mini-cheer clinic forms have been distributed to the elementary schools and should start coming in this week. The mini-cheer clinic is scheduled for September 24. We will need several parents to assist with this endeavor. It is a huge money maker for our kids!

Our first home game is September 10. We will be having a pep assembly that afternoon and that night is our Salute to Veterans game. We will have a patriotic half time show and will be honoring all veterans in attendance. Anyone with a current military ID will be admitted free to the game. Residents of the local veteran's home will be our honored guests for the evening. We will also be collecting money to donate to the veteran's home. Also being honored that evening will be all local law enforcement officials and local fire fighters. And, don't miss the pre-game show. We will be honoring the memory of long time Bulldog fan Bill Nichols.

Starting this week practices go back to their regular times - Tuesday and Thursday 3:30 to 5:30. These are mandatory practices! We are always working on and perfecting new chants, cheers, and stunts.

Again, thanks for you unwavering support of this amazing program. Without all of you this would not be possible!
