The girls worked with the high school cheerleaders on some basic cheer skills and stunts plus they learned a dance routine. The girls were divided into six groups, and each group worked throughout the week with a set of DHS Cheerleaders.
The highpoint of the week was on Friday, when the girls all performed before a large and enthusiastic audience of parents, family and friends in the DHS Gym. The girls were enthusiastic and energetic, showing Bearcat spirit.
After the final large group cheer, little girls wanted to pose for photos with their "cheerleader buddies" and were treated to "treats" for the hard word, energy and effort throughout the week.

Chicka chicka, boom, boom!
It's summer school time in the Dexter Public Schools, and the students in Shannon Putnam's class have been busy this month with learning the alphabet and sounds.
The students - in kindergarten and first grade - recently read the classic children's book "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom".
In this bright and lively rhyme, the letters of the alphabet race each other to the top of the coconut tree. When X, Y and Z finally scramble up the trunk, however, the weight is too much, and down they all tumble in a colorful chaotic heap: "Chicka Chicka . . . BOOM! BOOM!"
The students in Putnam’s made "coconut trees" - all edible with apple slices, grapes and wafer cookies.Summer School began in Dexter on June 4, and students attend class each day from 7 a.m. until 1 p.m. Next week is the last week for classes this summer.
