• Congrats to our TEMS Cheerleaders on their first-place finish this weekend at the Middle School Mania competition!  The team scored so high that they beat many local high school teams in recent competitions, scoring 72 points out of 100!  This is the highest score that TEMS has had in many years!  The girls received outstanding ability scores in their stunts, pyramid, dance, technique, and tumbling, with a personal shoutout from a judge to 8th grade Zoe Bailey, the only cheerleader at the competition who threw a full.  They were above average with motions and jumps.  Way to represent TEMS.  Great job, ladies!
