🔴 Homecoming 2025 is fast approaching! 🔴

The Minatare Cheer Squad is excited to once again offer Spirit Pants!!

The Spirit Pants Workshop will be Wednesday, August 27th, from 6:45 to 7:45 pm (following the Homecoming pep rally) in the Safe Room.

Students and adults are welcome to attend. To ensure adequate supplies, pre-registration (with me) is necessary by Friday August 22nd. A $10 fee per participant is required to cover the costs of fabric paint/ribbon/etc and each person will need to bring their own pants.

I've attached a picture of different styles of Spirit Pants. Pinterest and Google also have tons of ideas. If you'd like to register, comment on our Facebook post or message Darla Grumbles.
