Regional Results and Camp

The RHS Cheerleading Squad competed at the MCCA Northeast Regional Cheerleading Competition on July 21, 2010 in Moberly, MO. The girls worked very hard all summer, practicing everyday, sometimes twice a day. They placed 4th in the 3A small division.
We are very proud to have earned this distinction and received a bid to compete at the MCCA State Cheerleading Competition in November.
The school staff, parents, and friends did a great job supporting the girls and I am very thankful to everyone who showed their support.


Now it is time for camp. The squad will leave RHS at 7:00am on Saturday, July 31, 2010 and travel to Missouri State University in Springfield, MO to attend a UCA cheerleading camp. It will be four days of hard work, team building, lots of walking, and a ton of fun. I am looking forward to a fun-filled weekend!

Regionals, Camp, and the Frog-Leg Festival

MCCA Regional Cheerleading Competition is July 21, 2010 in Moberly, MO.
Our July calendar is very full and busy to get ready for this exciting event!
Hopefully many people from the school and community will come out to support the girls.

The RHS Cheerleaders will be traveling to Springfield, Missouri for a UCA cheer camp from July 31 - August 3. The cost is $279 per student.

The Frog-Leg Festival in Russellville this past weekend was great. The girls did an awesome job performing in the parade, and it was good practice for the girls who have never cheered before. The community supported the squad, and we earned some desperately needed money that will be put towards camp costs.

Thank you to everyone who helped and supported the girls. It is greatly appreciated. The squad is working together and working hard and this is going to be a great year for the RHS Cheerleading Squad!

Congratulations!

Congratulations to the 2010-2011 cheerleading squad!
