Mackert Elementary
Cheerleading Club
By Sierra Concha '13
The Red Cloud cheerleaders have been in charge of a cheerleading club since
the beginning of the 3rd quarter for Mackert elementary students. Many young girls
attend the games and can be seen in the stands watching the cheerleaders and
attempting to imitate the cheers. Cheerleading is an incredibly popular sport
for elementary and middle school girls, and the club has opened the door to
these young girls that dream of being a cheerleader someday.
The club occurs every Wednesday from 3:30 to 4:45, and the
cheerleaders have been teaching the students cheers and parts of the LNI dance
routine. The girls have expressed their love for the club to the cheerleaders
and teacher, Matthew Rama. This club has been giving the eager girls an
opportunity to learn well-known cheers as well as kicks and jumps. The club
ranges from about twelve to fourteen students each week, and they’re always
ready to learn something new. The club will continue until the end of the
quarter when track season begins.
This experience has exposed the Red Cloud cheerleaders to
how many young girls look up to them. Hopefully, the club will continue in the
following years because it is a positive and good learning experience for both
the high school students and Mackert elementary girls.
