Our PHS Cheer Team enjoyed a successful camp last week. Love Leigh Guthmueller, Gracie Pruitt, Kate Ginn, Allison Pendley, Constance Uhl, and Ellie Reed were named All-Star Cheerleaders. Love Leigh and Constance were Top Gun finalists. The team brought home the Champion Cup and Dynamite Stick. Coaches Grant Gish and April Trumbo would like to thank all the parents and supporters for their great help!

A special thanks to Sherri Sheehy from Sheehy Signs and Char Page and District Designs for our new permanent banners showcasing our Dragon legends from the past.
