What’s prettier than a Homecoming Queen? A bunch of them!
The Pleasant Grove Cheerleaders kicked off the start of Homecoming with their annual dance on Thursday, Oct. 2 at the school. The overflow was transformed into a land of “Forever Twilight” with all its glitz and glamour. The focal feature was a beautiful purple gazebo decorated with lanterns, lights and tulle. The crowd danced the night away with the sounds provided by DJ Will Bob. Head cheerleader Reese Sherman said, “Since this is my senior year, I was so excited about the dance. All the girls worked on our outfits to make sure everything was just right. And the guys looked handsome all dressed up. I wish everybody could have been there because we all had a great time making memories that will remain with us forever as we danced the night away!”
The Pleasant Grove Cheerleader’s Booster Club sponsors the event annually as a fundraiser to help with expenses for the 2015 National High School Cheerleading Championship in Orlando, Florida in February. Other local competitions include the Universal Cheer Association’s North Alabama Regional and Alabama State Championships. Both Pleasant Grove High School and Middle School teams have ranked as past champions in these events. Cheer coaches are Jasmine Clisby and Briana Lott. Wayne Byram is the principal.
