PHS Cheerleading is building momentum for an exciting season ahead! 👏

The Varsity Cheer team recently attended the NCA Skillz Camp at Lindenwood University, where they worked hard to strengthen their skills, grow as a team, and build lasting connections. All 23 cheerleaders were nominated for All-American honors, with Anna and Tori earning the distinction of being named All-Americans. They also celebrated Bella and Bailey, who received the Pin It Forward Award!

The team's first ""Beyond the Mat"" guest speaker, PHS alumni Kaylie Kaufman, also recently shared valuable insights on mindset, helping athletes prepare for success both on and off the mat.

We are proud of the hard work, commitment, and teamwork this group continues to demonstrate, and we look forward to an outstanding season ahead. 💜
