Something to Cheer About...

Great First Practice Cheerleaders!
I thank the Lord for you all and for your good spirit and dedication! The Lord has blessed us with a great group of cheerleaders this year and I look forward to the year ahead. Captains Susanna and Katie L. are already the leaders I had hoped they would be and

A big welcome to Anna de la Cruz, a new 9th grade student to CLA this year! We look forward to getting to know her and are thankful for her wonderful spirit and desire to be a CLA cheerleader.

Some cheerleading goals to embrace:
  • to give our Lord Jesus Christ pre-eminence in all we do
  • to teach "state of the art" cheerleading techniques, material and methods while maintaining Christian standards ... being "contemporary without compromise"
  • to promote and require academic excellence among cheerleaders as well as other athletes
  • to develop, advise and educate cheerleaders on safety guidelines and techniques
  • to recognize cheerleaders as the athletes they are
  • to encourage and promote creativity and enthusiasm with a "be the best you can be" attitude
  • Build PEOPLE Before PYRAMIDS
  • boost school spirit
  • promote good sportsmanship
  • develop positive crowd involvement
  • provide encouraging, enthusiastic team support
  • create a cooperative, loyal, spirit withing the student body as well as with alumni, parents, fans, and faculty
"And whatsoever things ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ." (Colossians 3:23-24)
