Notice the girl in the wheel chair. She has MS and last summer it became her dying wish to become cheerleader. After the district turned her down for a "make a wish," this Syracuse High cheerleading squad found it their pleasure to make Brittany an honorary cheerleader this year.


This is Celesta's 3rd year as a cheerleader. She is going to try out for the Weber State University cheerleading squad next year. Celesta is a junior this year but plans to do early college and cheer (college style) at the same time next year.
