Yes please bring cheerleading back. My daughter enjoys. When we moved back to Neenah she was hoping there would be cheer team.

I think having a cheer team is a fantastic idea. Whats the problem with boosting school spirit? If this is being offered at no-cost, what is stopping Neenah from agreeing to this? Neenah is so big and well known because of the sports program, I have always thought it was crazy we didn't have a cheer team!

I was a cheerleader all throughout highschool. Our cheers not only had the crowd engaging and hyped up about the game but it helped the team knowing people were also cheering. It helps to establish trust between one another and forms a bond like no other. To this day I am still very close with my fellow cheerleaders.

My daughter, Paisley Elter, was on the dance team last year. So many people asked me why Neenah doesn’t also have cheerleaders. I wish there was a team, too.

I support cheer as I have grandchildren coming up through the school that would absolutely want to be in cheer. My daughter is a cheer coach for menasha middle school and would love for her daughters who attend Neenah schools to be in cheer as they get older.

Past cheerleader for NHS and past Poms (now dance) as a Freshman, and a current parent in the NJSD. I stuck with cheer through all of high school, and I can not believe that Neenah doesn't offer a cheer program anymore when youth are interested. Let's get as many kids participating in school activities as possible! I can't even tell you how awesome it was to head off to cheer camp and come back with full extensions, basket tosses, and other new tumbling. Our coach was shocked how quickly we were able to learn skills and safely execute them. We have over 2000 students in both the middle and high school buildings, let's get them connected to cheer at each level if there's interest and start building this program!

Cheerleading has been a part of my life and both of my daughters. It taught them so many lessons in life.

It's sad, shameful and frankly laughable that Neenah can't support Cheer, Dance AND Show Choir, which is the other reason that I've heard we don't have cheer. Show Choir is more singing with lighter dance moves, dance more intense dance and cheer more tumbling/stunts and leading the crowd. When every other team I saw this and past football/basketball seasons have cheer, dance and I assume Show Choir, PLUS they're smaller schools like Menasha, Kaukauna and Kimberly, Neenah should be big enough to support all three!

My daughter was on the prior dance team & loved it. Neenah is a big enough school to have both a cheer & dance team!

I am in full support as a former cheerleader I can attest to the camaraderie, athleticism, and discipline that the sport requires of these athletes and feel students should be given the opportunity to participate in cheer.

Cheer and dance are not the same. Listen to the kids and families on this, it’s community building 101!

As a parent of two very successful all star cheerleaders (both became UW Madison cheerleaders) AND a daughter who has won national championships with her local studio...I 100% support a cheer program at Neenah High School. It is a sport and if done right, extremely entertaining and supportive to the various sports programs. Please reconsider as it seems all of the previous roadblocks were addressed and answered. This is starting to sound like there is more to this refusal than what has been presented at face value. All kids should have the opportunity to pursue their sport and passion at Neenah High School.

We had a program when I was in high school 2002 to 2006. I was part of the program. There is absolutely zero reason one can give that this was ever discontinued. Also zero explanation as to why a volunteer run program is not approved!
