Impact

The passage of HJR187 would serve as a formal acknowledgment at the state level of the contributions made by high school cheerleaders. This designation could have a positive effect on student morale and community pride, as it lends an official voice of appreciation to these young athletes' roles within their schools. By highlighting the importance of cheerleading as a sport and a form of school representation, the resolution may encourage support and resources for cheerleading programs across the state.

Summary

HJR187 is a resolution that commends high school cheerleaders for their dedication, teamwork, and positive impact on their schools and communities. This bill intends to recognize the efforts and achievements of high school cheerleading squads, emphasizing their role in promoting school spirit, camaraderie, and support for various school activities and local events. By applauding these student athletes, HJR187 seeks not only to honor their hard work but also to inspire other young individuals in their pursuits, whether in athletics, academics, or extracurricular activities.

Sentiment

The sentiment surrounding HJR187 is largely positive, with support from various members of the legislative body who believe in recognizing the efforts of young student athletes. Cheerleading is often undervalued, and this resolution aims to bring light to the hard work and dedication involved. Supporters highlight the importance of cheering not just for athletic events but as a community-building activity that fosters inclusiveness and support among students.
