·Cheer Clinic-A fundraiser-takes place during football season-mandatory participation for cheerleaders and will require some parent participation. PHS Cheer invites girls from local elementary and middle schools to participate in learning how to cheer and each participant gets to cheer at that weeks football game with all 3 of our squads. Cheer Clinic runs smoothly with all parents donating food/water items and a handful of parents on site at all times. Usually a 3 hour period each day for 4 days and a Varsity Football Game.
·Kathy Ladd - a fundraiser- mandatory participation for all cheerleaders. Requires only enough drivers to supervise and drive the cheerleaders to different neighborhoods. Local Re/Max Realtor Kathy Ladd, generously offers (with many choices before her) this opportunity to our cheer program. Girls distribute flyers for her throughout our local neighborhood. Usually happens twice a year. This fundraiser is pure profit and takes place over determined (by Kathy Ladd) weekends and takes about 3 hours to accomplish. We are usually given short notice but we will notify everyone as early as possible

·Homecoming Games- this is mandatory- all 3 squads cheer at the Varsity Football and Varsity Basketball homecoming games. Team Dinners are planned by each team mom for their own team.
·Picture Day-Mandatory Participation for the entire team. Hopefully we can schedule this for September to make the yearbook dead line. All girls from all teams travel to a designated destination to take team and individual pictures. Parents will be given the opportunity to order picture packages from the photographer.
