The Poland Seminary High School Cheerleaders attended Cheer Time Athletics Spirit Camp on June 10-12, in Niles, Ohio. Throughout the week, the teams learned a variety of new material from cheers, to dance routines, to stunts for the upcoming season. The Bulldogs came home victorious earning two Elite Awards, the highest honor, with orange ribbons. In addition to this, many  individuals received various certificates throughout the week for leadership, cheer skills, stunt skills, and dance skills. More importantly, this group of cheerleaders left camp as a unified team!

Using only household items, 7th Grade STEM students in Mr. Daley's class had to build a car! With a goal to travel 50 centimeters, the Bulldogs collaborated with partners to use the elastic potential energy of a rubber band to move their cool cars. Vivi and Audrey's car took the furthest trip, and we think it was because of the aesthetics... The car had a hairdo!
