Fallbrook High cheer team holds banquet

FALLBROOK – Fallbrook High School (FHS) celebrated the end of another great year of cheer on March 16 at Pala Mesa Resort. The evening was filled with family, friends, great food, lots of laughs, and even some tears.

This year the graduating cheerleaders said goodbye to FHS. It was a night that ended one chapter of their lives and opened up a new one as they move on to what the future has waiting for them. Coaches, parents and cheerleaders shared memories of great times had in past years.

As a cheer family, it was also a night to show appreciation to Lupe Morales, who will no longer be head cheer coach at FHS and also to Lori Schneider who was an active member of the FHS Cheer Board for many years and who did many great things while acting as president for 2015.

There were certificates given to all girls for their participation in FHS cheer and many individual awards were given as well.
