As each new season begins, so does the process of integrating new members into a team. There are several ways to achieve squad unity and participate in team bonding activities. Team bonding is essential for cheerleaders as it strengthens team dynamics, fosters trust, enhances communication, and promotes a positive and supportive environment. These factors contribute to better performance, increased motivation, and a more enjoyable cheerleading experience for all team members.

On Sunday, December 17th, the Jonesboro-Hodge Elementary Cheer Squad headed to “Different Strokes” in Ruston to enjoy an afternoon of team bonding and Christmas cheer! They painted festive, personalized door hangers and exchanged gifts. The squad is under the direction of Ms. Lauren Bennett and looks forward to their upcoming basketball season beginning in January! Let’s Go Tigers!
