The
Cheerleading Team Makes Safety Changes
Making cheerleading safe for everyone.
By Nicole Nielsen
Next year, the Valley Christian
Cheer Squad will be making some changes. “We want to put more
of an emphasis on safety,” said cheer advisor Mrs. Laurie
Tamura, “that’s what is most important.” As part of this
focus, the cheerleaders will be attending a gym twice a week.
“When the girls go to the gym, they will be working with another
cheer coach who will teach them the correct ways to tumble, and
help with their stunting and dancing,” said Tamura.
Also, the J.V. and varsity will be structured accordingly. Juniors
and seniors will be on varsity, and sophomores and freshmen will
be on J.V. This way, the cheerleaders will be able to cheer for
their own class.
Along with these subtle changes, a bigger one will occur: the
girls will no longer be cheering for basketball, cutting their
season in half. This will give the girls more time off, letting
them concentrate on school and have more time to themselves.
“We are really excited to focus on football, and getting the whole
school involved. It’s going to be a great season,” said Tamura.

This was the backdrop for the Battle Cry stadium event in San
Francisco. Among the thousands of teenagers attending the concert/worship
event were dozens of Valley Christian students. Freshmen, sophomores,

with God.

Spiritual Emphasis
Week
Imagine trudging through a swamp waist deep with nothing
to guide you but your compass. It is night, and you have to use
your instincts to find your way to a marked point. For speaker
Darrin Crowder, he has met many similar challenges
such as this when he joined the army.
Crowder came to Valley Christian the week of March 27 to share
his message with the students of how to separate “what the world
tries to say to you vs. what the Bible is trying to tell you.”
