I don’t know if your high school is anything like mine was but chances are the student population isn’t overly enthusiastic about school spirit. I find this so sad, I think being really being prideful of your alma mater is important and I think cheerleaders can really help boost up the campus spirit.

 Athletics is a great way to pump up the community and get them really involved with the school. As cheerleaders, we can make posters telling of the upcoming sports games and post them around campus and the community. I know this works great because when my cheer team did this we always heard positive feedback saying they didn’t even know there was a soccer game until the saw the poster up at the local Publix.

Another idea is to have each cheerleader wear their uniform to school on game days. This helps to let everyone know there’s a game that night helps to pump up the school spirit early on in the day. The more people you can get to come to your sporting events the better!

 Does your school have spirit week? If not try it out! Get together with your girls and pick a theme for each day of the week for the students to dress up for. Some examples are tye-dye day, twin day, super hero day, favorite color day, mis-match day etc.

Always end Friday with a school spirit day where the students dress up in the school colors and really get into everything about the school. Spirit week really pulls the student body together where students of all different clicks can come together and unite over showing spirit for their school.
