Fifteen members of the ACS Cheer Team participated in Fresh Start Church’s “Night to Shine” event on Friday, February 12, clapping and cheering as a car parade of special needs students passed by. The event was organized through the Tim Tebow Foundation.

“Our cheer team was thrilled to have the opportunity to be a part of this event and to show the students in each car that they were loved and appreciated,” said cheer coach Kelly Flynn, who accompanied the team to the event held in Egg Harbor Township. Some 70 cars were part of the car parade that lasted two hours.

“Even though it was freezing cold and snow on the ground, our girls were enthusiastic and made sure they told each guest of honor how special they were,” Flynn said.  This was the first service project for the 21-member cheer team this year and Flynn said they have also been invited to be part of several Memorial Day Parades.
