Monroe Cheer Team Spreads Holiday Spirit in Los Gatos

Cheer team participates in holiday parade

On December 7th, the Monroe Middle School Cheer Team performed a Christmas-themed dance in the downtown Los Gatos Holiday Parade.  Desiray Madrid, the team coach and a teacher at Monroe, entered the team in the parade in order to spread holiday cheer.  “They have been working really hard and I wanted others to see what they have been doing.”

The team members had a great time at the parade even though they were a little nervous and didn’t know what to expect.  8th grader, Alicia Vargas shared that the experience was fun but a little overwhelming.  “We got to spend time together as a team and were able to continue to improve.”

This is Monroe’s second season of cheer and the team has doubled in size.  “The students are learning how to work as a team while mastering complex dance and stunt routines.”  In four months they have mastered several dances and almost fifty cheers.  The cheer team will continue to meet throughout the school year.
