The Cuero Junior High Cheerleaders spent their summer building momentum both on and off the mat, kicking off a year‑long fundraising effort to purchase a new Toby mascot uniform while also earning top honors at their NCA cheer camp.
From June 1–3, the squad completed the NCA camp, where they trained intensively and represented Cuero with discipline, teamwork, and spirit. Their performance earned multiple awards across the team. Clover Borkowski and Bailey Woods were named All American Cheerleaders, while the Pin It Forward recognition went to Avy Davila and Bailey Woods, who then pinned Peighsyn Lemke and Ava Hobbs. Additional honors included Most Spirited for Brooke Sipps, Most Dynamic for Aryana Donovan, All Star Cheerleader for Clover Borkowski, Most Improved for Caroline Cowey, Star Jumper for Avy Davila, Star Backspot for Peighsyn Lemke, Star Base for Karsyn Jacob, Star Flyer for Clover Borkowski, Leadership for Bailey Woods, and Grit for Ava Hobbs.
While camp showcased their athletic achievements, the cheerleaders also launched a major fundraising initiative to bring a new Toby mascot costume to life. Toby has long served as a symbol of Cuero pride, and the squad, along with the cheer booster club, committed to raising funds throughout the year to secure a durable, high‑quality uniform that will represent the school at games, pep rallies, and community events.
One of their first efforts took place on June 27, when the cheerleaders hosted a bake sale. Supporters stopped by to purchase homemade cookies, cupcakes, brownies, cakes, pies, and other treats. The event helped jump‑start the fundraising campaign and brought the community together in support of the cheer program.
The squad also promoted an online donation link, encouraging anyone who wished to contribute to the Toby project. Their message emphasized that every donation made a difference and helped build school spirit for the upcoming season.
By mid‑summer, the Cuero Junior High Cheerleaders had already demonstrated strong leadership, athletic excellence, and community commitment. Their fundraising efforts were only just beginning, and the squad planned to continue working toward their goal throughout the school year.
