Sara's Spring

Sara's spring has been a busy one! She took on a second job at Flip Factory, the gym where she tumbles. She is also still volunteering on Saturdays and for the past few weeks she spent several hours studying for her AP test. She's juggling all of those things along with friends, cheer, and now lots of fundraising efforts for next year's team.

A couple of weeks ago, we celebrated the end of the cheer season at the annual banquet. She won the "UCA Sharp" award.

Sara gave a captain's speech, and it was just so good. She was poised, well-spoke, eloquent, and made a point to personally name each person on the team. I was so proud to watch her confidently get up in front of a room of people and express herself so genuinely.

It was a fun afternoon with my girl. I did have to poke fun at all of her posing and took this pic ...

... but we got a nice one, too.

Sophomores

From there it was quickly onto all things for next year! The girls have been busy selling t-shirts, which is one of their biggest fundraisers. They had media day followed by the spring game. I'm excited to see the professional media day photos, but these candid shots are pretty fun too!

I love that Sara gets to keep cheering with her best friend.

The girls had fun at the spring game, and they are so ready for FNL!

Tomorrow is the Varsity pool party and big/little reveal. Once school is out, they will start summer practices and Sara opted to sign up for additional strength and conditioning courses. Between cheer, work, and camp, Sara will have a fun and busy summer. She is thriving, and I'm here for it!
