School Spirit…Pass it On!

 Celebrate School Spirit Teams and Join Us in this National Day of Spirit and Service!

Varsity wants you to participate in National School Spirit Day on September 10, 2010!

How? Do at least 4 hours of community service in the week leading up to National School Spirit Day, September 6-10, 2010. Tell us about what you’re doing to make a difference, and you’ll be entered to win a School Spirit Prize Pack from Varsity.

Who? YOU! If every cheerleading and dancer attending a Varsity camp participates, together we can contribute over one million hours of service across the country!

Why? Well, we know how much you do to support your school’s athletic teams throughout the year, but this is a day to make sure everyone else knows the power of cheerleaders and dancers!

Here’s What You Can Win!

• $1000 in school supplies to be donated to your school from Carolina Pad
• Practice cheer mat (single roll) from Ross Athletic Supply
• 250 Rooter poms, 150 sets of Thunderstix, and a Power Break-Through Banner from Varsity Spirit Fashions

Also, Inside Cheerleading Magazine will select 10 stories of spirit and service to be featured in the magazine!

National School Spirit Day began in 2009 to celebrate leadership among cheerleaders and dancers! Help us shine a spotlight on the character that being on a cheerleading or dance team builds through service to your community on National School Spirit Day!

What Can You Do? Here are some ideas!

• Visit a nursing home and perform simple cheers for the residents
• Offer to clean up the school grounds – pull weeds, pick up trash, plant flowers, tear down old signs
• Fundraise for a charity outside the grocery store
• Ask if you can visit young patients at a children’s hospital or children’s wing in your community
• Read to younger schoolchildren – for inspiration, visit http://cheereader.com for ideas on running a reading project
• Have a car wash for charity
• Get involved with the Make A Wish Foundation
• Dust off the trophy cases for all of your school’s teams and make sure they reflect everyone’s accomplishments

Name: Heidi Kemp

Hometown: St Louis, MO

School: University of Cincinnati

Year: Sophomore

Major: Organizational Leadership

Here is a photo gallery of Heidi on the sidelines!

Photos: Bruce Yeung/Yeung Photography

I love my school, but I almost went to: I fell in love with Cincinnati. My mind was set here and, to be honest, this was the only school I applied to.

My best physical feature is: I’m not really sure, you decide!

If I had to watch one movie on loop for ever, it would be: The Little Rascals

If you looked at the “most played” songs on my iPod, you’d see a lot of: Random songs, I listen to a variety!

The shows I DVR/TiVo are: Gossip Girl, The Hills.

My favorite Web Sites are: Facebook, Google.

My worst habit is: I procrastinate.

My gameday superstitions are: Checking my bag twice, making sure I have everything.

The talent I’d most like to have that I don’t possess is: Definitely singing! I love jammin’ out in the car.

These three things top my bucket list: Travel the world, own a boutique and having children with a loving husband.

I’d want my last meal to be: Steak, mashed potatoes and chocolate-covered strawberries.

The most embarrassing thing that’s ever happened to me during a game is: My very first home game I was in the two-two-one pyramid and the shoulder stand dropped and some drunk guy in the stands pointed and laughed.

Three things I’d take to a desert island are: My blanket, my iPod and a toothbrush.

My favorite pro sports teams are: St Louis Blues!

My one guilty pleasure is: Dark chocolate, yum! I can’t live without it!

My celebrity crush is: Channing Tatum

Five people I’d like to have dinner with (living or dead) are: Jesus, Cameron Diaz, Michael Jackson, Oprah Winfrey and Channing Tatum.

My friends would be surprised to know that: Even though I am afraid of heights, I still love roller coasters!

The next risk I want to take is: Skydiving

The worst date I’ve ever been on was: My best friend and I went on a double date with theses two guys, we get in the car and the guys ask, ” Is McDonald’s ok?” We ended up at a Mexican restaurant with him throwing chips at me..Mature, right?
