Cheers for Cheer Camp, where our youngest and older participants are learning new skills during their three days of fun and learning! Clearly, there are future JV and Varsity cheerleaders in this group!

Tonight at 9 p.m. on ESPN! Watch Class of 2010 alumnus Stefanie Dolson, who will be part of the WNBA All-Star festivities when she competes in the WNBA All-Star Three-Point Shooting Contest!
Ms. Dolson --- now a center with the Washington Mystics --- led Minisink Valley to four straight New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA) Section IX championship appearances. Ms. Dolson, who played on two UConn championship teams, has played in the WNBA for 10 years and helped the Chicago Sky win the league’s championship in 2021. She's also an Olympian--winning a gold medalist in 3x3 basketball in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics (held one year later due to COVID-19)
