The Pancakes with Santa breakfast is just one fundraiser taking place in the coming weeks. Another is the Holiday Boutique which will include over 30 vendors. Come check out the boutique to get some of your holiday shopping done while also supporting the cheer and dance team.

Most importantly, come and support our varsity and middle school team as they walk three miles in the APS light parade. APS is something that the cheer team has won for the past three years and it really gets you in the Christmas spirit! The APS light parade is on Dec.7 at 7:00 p.m. in Downtown Phoenix. Come watch them set on a spectacular night while dancing beside a float they all helped make along with holiday jams! Last but not least, come watch and see if the cheer team takes home $1,000 prize for the fourth year in a row!
