The Sheridan 7th-8th grade cheer teams participated in the National Cheerleaders Association (NCA) Cheer Camp earlier this month and brought home several awards.
They won second place in Game Day Cheer and earned the Herkie Team Award for Leadership, which was given to one junior high team out of all who attended. The teams also received an invitation to the Citrus Bowl and a Showmanship award in Jam.
Ten cheerleaders were nominated for All American, with one earning the honor. Three girls received the Pin-it-Forward award, and one earned the Individual Leadership Award, which was chosen from all junior high participants.
The girls also enjoyed bonding with other squads, including Greenwood, Hazen, and Mat 1.
A special thank you to Roof Connect, Jeff Vance, Pam Clark, and Arley Wheetley Arkansas Electric Service and Contracting for providing meals and treats. Your support kept the girls going strong!

Time to clean out that closet! If you have a musical instrument from your child's time in band (or when you were in band), please consider donating it to the Sheridan band program. We always have students who can benefit from a loaner if theirs is being repaired, and we have many students who are interested in learning secondary instruments. Many instruments can be put into playing condition with minor service and can continue to give someone the joy of making music.
If you have questions please contact Gregg Scott at greggscott@sheridanschools.org or message at (501) 613-7862. He will be glad to provide you with an appraisal estimate for your donation records.
