LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL CHEERLEADERS INVITED TO PERFORM AT THE VRBO CITRUS BOWL IN ORLANDO, FL

The Putnam County School District is proud to announce that Alyssa Turner and Kamryn Helms, two of Interlachen Jr.-Sr. High School's cheerleaders, were chosen to represent Varsity Spirit, the global leader in cheerleading, dance team and band apparel, camps and competitions, and a division of Varsity Brands, the market leader in team sports, school spirit and achievement recognition, in the VRBO Citrus Bowl Pre-Game Performance at the Universal Orlando Resort on December 30, 2022 – January 3, 2023.

Cheerleaders, dancers, and mascots who are invited to perform in the VRBO Citrus Bowl Pre-Game Performance are part of a select group of trophy-winning squads and teams and All-Americans identified at Varsity Spirit summer camps across the country. Trophy-winning teams and All-Americans are based on superior cheerleading or dance skills as well as leadership skills at camps operated by Universal Cheerleaders Association (UCA), Universal Dance Association (UDA), National Cheerleaders Association (NCA), National Dance Alliance (NDA), United Spirit Association (USA) or Urban Cheerleading Experience (UCE). IJSHS cheerleaders, Alyssa Turner and Kamryn Helms, attended UCA Camp at the Renaissance World Golf Village on July 12, 2022 - July 15, 2022 where they were selected for this experience. 

“We are thrilled that these excellent athletes will have the chance to perform and experience our Special Events in Orlando, FL,” said Bill Seely, President of Varsity Spirit. “We are honored to provide them a one-of-a-kind opportunity, where they will meet and connect with cheerleaders, dancers and mascots from across the country, and create memorable experiences at the Universal Orlando Resort parks.”

"I am bursting with pride! These girls made the All American cheer team at camp and rocked the Citrus Bowl!," boasted IJSHS Cheerleading Coach Cammie Foshee, "They did an amazing job representing the Interlachen Jr. Sr. High cheer team and Putnam County. I am so proud to be their coach! Go Rams!"

Alyssa Turner and Kamryn Helms performed with the Varsity Spirit Trophy Winners and All-Americans in a one-of-a-kind pre-game performance. Besides enjoying a sunny trip to Orlando, they had the opportunity to meet cheerleaders, dancers, and mascots from across the nation and enjoy a memorable holiday season at the Universal Orlando Resort parks.
