DO YOU LOVE TO DANCE AND CHEER ON YOUR SCHOOL? SPIRIT SQUADMAY BE RIGHT FOR YOU!
As a part of the spirit squad, we will cheer for football and basketball games., and occasionally wrestling matches. Depending on interest, we may also attend and cheer on baseball in the spring. All events will be at HMS after school unless home games are moved to UHS. We will cheer at spirit assemblies and perform dances like Thriller for our student body. We will greet guests at special assemblies like Veteran’s day and participate in the Jr. Lilac Parade in May with the HMS band.

We will begin our practices on Wednesday, Sept. 17 . Weather permitting, we will practice outside.
WHAT DO I WEAR?
Wear clothes that you can move in. We start 10minutes after the release bell so you have time to change into athletic clothes. You will need white tennis shoes for performances. Uniforms and pompoms will be provided to you to borrow for the year. You will also receive a bow to wear for performances.
D & D Club
After much talk it's finally official. Due to high demand, the Dungeons & Dragons Club is a real thing. It's in Final Forms as a Fall-only activity. If demand is high it has the potential to extend.
