On behalf of the Tonkawa High School cheerleaders, we would like to thank the Tonkawa Masons Lodge for their sponsorship of the Hello 5th grade, Goodbye 8th grade dance which was held on April 28th. The Tonkawa High School cheerleading squad will be participating in the Game Day Competition in November and have worked hard to raise funds to help pay the way. The Tonkawa Masons have always been there making it possible to purchase new uniforms, hire a choreographer, and attend cheer camp. We are grateful for everything they have done for us and our community. Thank you for your continued support. Pictured with cheer coach Shawn Staton is Terry Pedigo of the Tonkawa Masons Lodge along with the THS cheer squad.
