KHS Cheerleaders PLACE 3RD IN THE NATION!!!!!!!

The Kingston High School Varsity Cheerleaders have placed THIRD in the American School Spirit Awards and FIRST in the northeast!  This award recognizes the top cheerleading programs from around the country.  When choosing a winner, the Universal Cheerleaders' Association (UCA) looks for teams that exemplify community service, outstanding athletic support, spirit raising activities, and high academic standards.

For teams to enter the American School Spirit Award, squads had to submit a book to UCA. In their book, they included a letter of recommendation from their principal, athletic director or community leader, show one or two community service projects/charity work events involving the squad, describe two of their most successful spirit raising activities, list their most notable academic awards/honors, and include a couple of interesting facts about their team.

Last year, the KHS program earned 5th place, so inching closer and closer to number 1 is always an accomplishment.  I'm extremely proud of the commitment this year's team has made to spirit leading and community service projects, as well as the life long lessons they are learning through it all. 

The winners include Coach Lainie Silverberg, Captains Zia-Ne Williams and Mackenzie Goodrich, seniors Kimberly Boice, Jessica ReposaRicki Maggiore, Tiffany Coughlin, juniors Brianna Egan, Melanie Hoffay, Aimee Bauer, Demi Politis, sophomores Hatherley Tucker, Megan Hoffay, Molly Gaffney, Tatiana Rodriguez, and freshmen Alex Boudreau and Megan Gillespie. 

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!
