SJHS has team spirit

Springville Junior High School has many cheerleaders in the student body.  Girls from seventh to ninth grade can sign up for the opportunity to cheer for football teams. Seventh graders cheer for either Rotary Mustangs or S.O.S Drug Bears, eighth graders cheers for either Quality cleaner Vikings or Reams Badgers, and all ninth graders cheer for Springville High Schol freshmen Red Devils.       

The football teams have sponsors, such as Springville Rotary Club, S.O.S Drug Store, Quality Cleaners and Reams grocery store.  Ciara Snapp, an eighth grader at SJHS and cheerleader for Quality Cleaners Vikings, said, “I think it’s very nice of them to care for the fact that people want to play football and support them.”       

Cheer is a fun way to get to meet new people. Alexa Kroneberger, an eighth grader at SJHS and cheerleader for Reams Badgers, said, “I enjoy it, everybody is always positive and fun.” It is also a good way to spend time with friends. Ciara Snapp said, “When I first started, I didn’t think I’d like it.  But I ended up loving it!  It’s a lot harder than people think. I had friends to interact with it was a good learning experience.”        

If girls from seventh to ninth grade are interested in cheering next year, sign-ups are around the end of the school year at Springville High School or the recreation center.  Girls will receive a cheer uniform, socks, sweat pants, jacket with their name on it, pom poms, and a bag to keep their things in.
