  7. Cheer class is held during the 1st semester only, 1st block • Students receive a “P” – elective credit only – for class. This grade does not impact GPA or class rank. • Cheer class takes the place of most outside practices.

  9. Car Wash - helps with the cost of camp, including transportation. Each girl will be expected to sell 10 tickets to the car wash for $5 each. Car wash will be advertised as a “Free Car Wash – Donations Accepted” on the street signs. • Little Girls Clinic - BVW hosts a Little Girls Clinic in the fall. Girls learn cheers, chants, cheerleading basics and a dance routine. Girls perform at a Varsity football game with the cheerleaders! This raises money for operating costs including festival fees, traveling expenses, and end of the year banquet costs. • Pancake Breakfast– Cheerleaders sell tickets ahead of time to a pancake breakfast. The cheerleaders will be hosts and servers to families, friends and the community. • Additional Fundraisers - such as Dine In events at area restaurants and selling beads at home football games, will be determined by coach and booster club.
