A bright, colorful, square social media graphic announces a reminder for the SHS Pink Out Little Raider Cheer Camp. The graphic features a pink, black, and white color scheme with large cheerleading pom-poms in the upper corners, scattered stars, pink polka dots, and a pink Southern Raider mascot riding a horse and carrying a flag with the letter “S.” Across the top, large pink and black lettering reads “SHS Pink Out Little Raider Cheer Camp,” followed by the word “Reminder!” in bold, playful black script outlined in pink. The bottom half of the graphic is divided into three sections: - Cheer Camp: Camp will take place at Southern Elementary. Students will stay after school for camp. - Pick Up: Parents should pick up their children at Southern Elementary at 6:00 PM. - Performance: Cheerleaders need to be at the football game by 7:00 PM to cheer during halftime. Each section includes a matching illustration: a school building, a clock, and a football. The bottom of the graphic features decorative pink, black, and white waves with a small heart in the center. The overall design is cheerful, energetic, and full of Southern Raider school spirit!
Five of our JAG students spent Thursday in Omaha at the Nebraska JAG Leadership Conference!

Students heard from Scooters CEO Don Eckles, explored what it takes to be a great leader, and built professional skills through breakout sessions.

Our favorite part was seeing the pumpkin centerpieces Southern JAG students created featured throughout the conference!
