We are J.V. and Varsity spirit squads for Williamsburg Academy
Please read the following letter to you, from me, while you are waiting.
Congratulations to all of you who tried out this year. Regardless of whether or not you made the squad, you all worked very hard and you did a great job.
As I told each of you today, a competition such as this is just the way that a certain set of judges sees a certain set of applicants on a certain day. If any of the variables were changed, the outcome, in some way, would be different.
The most important thing that I want you to remember is this: THE TRUE WORTH OF AN INDIVIDUAL, AS A CHEERLEADER, OR SIMPLY AS A PERSON, IS NOT MEASURED BY WINNING AN AWARD, A TROPHY, OR A SPOT ON A SPORTS TEAM.
If you tried out this year and didn't make it, don't give up! Use this to your advantage because now you know what to expect at tryouts next year. You have an entire year to prepare for next time.
And if you are a Senior and did not make it, focus on your future and on the journey you will soon begin as you graduate from high school and move forward into one of the most exciting times of your life! I am proud of each of you and wish you always the best.
I have enjoyed spending the week with you, and I love you all.

The guidelines for the Senior Toy Pep Rally state the following:
1. This is the Senior ATHLETE Toy Pep Rally.
2. Seniors may participate if they are playing a fall sport their senior year (football, cheerleading, volleyball, tennis, or cross-country) OR
3. If the senior did not play a fall sport during their senior year but plans to play a winter or spring sport their senior year (basketball, baseball, softball, golf, track), then they must also have played that sport their JUNIOR YEAR and will also play it their senior year to be eligible to participate in the pep rally.
4. The pep rally is run by the Varsity Cheerleaders. They will carry each toy out onto the floor and give to the Senior.
J.V. Cheerleaders will assist if needed. Parents, siblings, boyfriends, girlfriends etc. will not take part in this pep rally. They will be spectators.
5. Other students or children will be asked to participate in the pep rally ONLY IF there is a costume that needs to be worn or a vehicle that needs to be driven (bicycle, toy jeep, etc.)
6. The Seniors' toys must be TOYS. Not humans who they played with when they were children
For the pep rally, you will need to select a toy that meant or means something to your son or daughter.
Write a poem or a few paragraphs about the toy, ONE PAGE or LESS. If it is too long, we will have to shorten it for you.
Things that you could include are:
Where the toy came from, how your child felt about the toy, etc.
Place the toy and the poem into a trash bag and deliver to the school office on Tuesday, October 17, 2023.
PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOUR CHILD'S NAME IS SOMEWHERE ON THE PAPER so that we will know who each toy belongs to.
Please note: No toy (OR REAL) guns or knives are permitted.
