Our Central Football Cheerleaders have been hard at work! ❤️🖤📣
Cheerleading isn’t just about the sidelines - it’s about community, connection, and school spirit!
Last week, our cheerleaders went around town asking local businesses if they’d let us use their storefronts to spread some Warrior cheer! As the girls complete their signs between now and Homecoming, they’ll be delivered around our community to help us cheer on our WARRIORS!
If we missed your business, please reach out to Coach Belser at kbelser@central.k12.ia.us, and we’ll get you taken care of!
Thanks for cheering on your Warriors with us! ❤️🖤
