The cheer team sold Birthday Bombs at auction last year and a few remain for purchase.  This is a fun way to make your special student or staff member's birthday extra special and support Sudie Cheer! 

For each birthday gram, the cheer team will decorate their locker (if they don't have a locker other festive arrangements will be made) or staff member's door/area for the selected date.   

Six or more cheerleaders will greet the honoree and perform a birthday celebration cheer at their arrival and present the honoree with a birthday pin to wear all day long.  

Date and timing of cheer (at drop off) and special details will be coordinated with purchaser.

Each birthday gram is $100. Limited quantity available.

Please contact Shona Bell at smgbell@gmail.com or 202-907-5522 to purchase.
