Even with coronavirus in the mix, I'm glad we still got to form a tight knit community on the cheer team,” senior Molly Barron said. “Stunts were downgraded, timing changed, and there was a lot of uncertainty but our spirits stayed high, and I'm grateful for the chance I got to cheer with Jefferson one last time.” Check out some picture from last Friday’s football game cheer!
