Cheerleaders promote school spirit and overall morale at Bussey Nation. They are an athletic group of girls who stunt, cheer, and are ambassadors for the school.

 

This year the Owlet Cheerleading Squad is being sponsored by Ms. Sims and Ms. Brannon. The Owlet Cheerleaders recently attended camp, where two of our Owlets received All-District awards.

 

During football and basketball season all cheerleaders will be required to practice. Please check with coaches for a current schedule of practice dates.
