Lamar Consolidated ISD Junior High Cheer Squads Show Unity This Summer

Joseph Leon — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 23:03:51 +0100

The Cheer Squads from LCISD’s Briscoe, Reading, Lamar, and George Junior High Schools held their first-ever joint summer camp this year. Normally the four junior highs would have their own separate cheer camps, but Briscoe Cheer Coach Krystle Geick opened her gym to the other three squads - and they had a great time building friendships, learning unity, providing mutual support, and competing for individual awards during the camp. The coaches for the other three squads - Ashley Lancaster of George, Carrie Magliaro of Lamar, and Kim Cantrell of Reading – all supported this multi-school pilot summer, and were glad they did. One more reason to prove that LCISD is a great place for kids to grow and learn character all at the same time!
