I was honored to find out that I would be cheering in the 71st Annual Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl game. I have been cheering for the past 8 years and love the different opportunities that cheerleading has given me. I am also excited that I get to share this experience with my friends who are on my high school team. |
Diana Breton, Windham High School When I learned that I would be participating in the Annual Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl Game, I was truly ecstatic. I was honored to have been chosen, and eager to learn what this journey will hold. Cheerleading is my biggest passion and favorite aspect of my life, and to be given the opportunity to cheer with a group of completely new girls from all over New Hampshire and learn from new personalities is so exciting. I am excited to take on this journey with two of my extremely driven and talented teammates and cannot wait to see what I get out of this experience this summer. I am ready to bring the dedicated, focused, enthusiastic energy I bring to practice each and every day, and make memories! After high school, I will attend university in the Fall of 2026, and hope to make a college co-ed cheerleading team. I will be majoring in Elementary Education and my goal is to attend a school down south. I will be doing a 5 year elementary education program to get my Masters in teaching, and after college I hope to get a job as a First Grade Teacher specializing in English Language Arts. |

When I found out that I would be cheering in the 72nd Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl game, I was beyond excited and was so honored. I have been cheering for 6 years, and this sport has given me so many amazing opportunities! I can't wait to cheer with other amazing cheerleaders from other schools and fundraise for such an amazing cause! This is such an amazing opportunity to be able to work hard, do what I love and support an amazing cause! |
Lauren Dings, Stevens High School
I feel very very well that I got chosen. I've been doing cheer since I started high school. I've always enjoyed watching the older girls cheer. I have enjoyed watching tumbling and stunting. I LOVE tumbling and stunting and I always put my all into it for cheer. I always heard my dad talk about how important the Shrine Bowl was before he passed now I finally have the chance to experience it. I feel as the youngest doing the Shrine Bowl, I have A LOT to show what I can do tumbling wise, stunting wise, and overall cheer wise. I will show what the younger athletes can do and how important it is to show. I was so beyond ecstatic finding out I was chosen. I ran to my mom and told everyone I knew immedietely. I never thought out of all people I would have been chosen but I was. As soon as I was chosen, I chose to work harder, persevere harder, and try harder. As well as better myself as an athlete. I'm excited to work with the coaches, show the girls, show everybody what I can do and what I've worked for. |

Riley Peterson, Alvirne High School When I found out I had been nominated to cheer at the Annual Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl game I was so surprised. Being recognized alongside so many other talented athletes is an indescribable feeling. To say I’m honored is an understatement, I am so incredibly grateful for this opportunity. I can’t wait to experience this with my friends, and I look forward to making new ones! After graduating high school, I plan on furthering my education in college. I aim on staying inside New England, not wanting to wonder too far from home. My motivation lies in studying dental hygiene, to become a dental hygienist. |
Maddy Stare, Windham High School
When I was told by my coaches that they nominated me and another junior for the Shrine Maple Game I was so excited to start out my senior year with such an incredible opportunity. When my teammate and I got the email officially inviting us to cheer at the Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl game we couldn't wait for it. We had asked our captains about their experience and hearing their stories made us more eager and pumped for the game. I'm so excited to meet new cheerleaders from all over New Hampshire! |

Lyla Stauffeneker, Windham High School When I found out about Shrine, I was super intrigued and curious as to what it was exactly. Two of my teammates participated last year, and I heard about what a great opportunity it would be to be on the team and truly see what goes on. When I received my email, I was overjoyed that I am able to get the opportunity for myself. After hearing how great it was, I am even more excited to meet new people and go into it with one of my best friends. Cheer has always been a big part of my life, from eight years old to now seventeen, I am truly grateful that this is where my skill and love for the sport has brought me. I am excited and expectant to see where this opportunity will take me. I appreciate the opportunity to be where I am. |
Emma Tarajkowski, Stevens High School When I learned I was nominated by my coach I felt so honored and appreciative. I didn't know what it was at first but when I soon learned I was even more happy that I got this opportunity to participate. I am very appreciative that you guys loved my skills and I love how my skill gets to be shared with others. I've been working up to this moment my whole life and I'm so glad I am getting this chance to show who I really am as a cheerleader. |

Riley Blaisdell, North Country Union High School
When I found out that I had been invited to cheer at the Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl I was ecstatic. To be recognized as one of the best cheerleaders in Vermont Is a huge accomplishment and a feeling I will never forget. I remember seeing all the amazing cheerleaders in the past, I never thought I would be one of them! This is an amazing opportunity not only to cheer with some amazing athletes but I also get to be part of a game with an amazing cause behind it. 72 years and over 5 million dollars of fundraising for Shriners Children Hospital. This organization is truly amazing and I’m honored to be chosen to do what I love at this game. |
Summer Boutin, Bellows Free Academy Fairfax When I found out I was cheering in the 72nd Annual Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl Game I was ecstatic. I've heard about cheerleaders on my team in previous years and I've heard all the stories they have said so I am very pleased to get the experience that some of my other teammates have had. I find it is a great cause that we are going to be raising money for and I'm very glad I get to be a part of it as well as getting to further my skills in cheerleading. Although I won't be continuing my cheerleading experience after graduation I was so happy to hear that I got one last time to cheer at a football game especially for this cause. Once I graduate high school, I will be working as an LNA in a hospital. My goal is to eventually be an RN and work in a hospital setting to help as many people as I can. I want to continue staying active even though that doesn't mean cheerleading. |
Madison Charlton, Fairhaven Middle Union When I first found out I was cheering at the Shrine Game, I was thrilled! It is an incredible honor to represent my community and be part of this event that supports the Shriners Hospitals for Children. Fair Haven has not had a cheerleader make the team in many years, and being the first to do so makes it even better. I'm especially grateful for this opportunity and for all the supporters I have had along the way. I plan on attending Vermont State University's Castleton Campus and pursue a Bachelor's Degree for Early Childhood Education and Special Education. After that, I would like to teach in a kindergarten classroom and eventually obtain my masters! |
Reghan Greenwood, St. Johnsbury Academy
When I opened the email to find that I had been selected to cheer in the 72nd Annual Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl Game, I was overwhelmed with emotion. I was excited with the news that I had gotten some recognition and been given this opportunity. I quickly told my family the exciting news. After finding that email, I found myself with some nerves about participating in this event; however, I am now more excited than nervous and I know that I will have fun! I am very thankful for this opportunity because it gives me a chance to get direction from another coach and see a different perspective of the cheer community outside of my small town. |

When I opened the envelope and learned that I would be joining the cheer team for the Annual Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl game, I was beyond excited. I was very grateful to have this opportunity to be a part of this. I immediately started to cry happy tears. I was excited to share the news with my family. I have dreamed of having the opportunity to be a part of this team, since I started cheering my freshman year of highschool. I have worked hard to get to have a chance at being nominated and selected for the Annual Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl. I put my all into being the best cheerleader I can be. I enjoy being part of a team. I find so much joy in performing. |
Taylor Murphy, Mill River Union High School
When I found out that I would be cheering for the 72nd Annual Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl Game I was truly shocked! I didn't even know I was nominated to cheer for it, so when I got a call I was very surprised but so ecstatic. At first I thought they were joking but after I texted my coach and she confirmed it was true, it truly made it feel real. I am so grateful and honored to have this opportunity. I am so excited and I can not wait to cheer at the Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl Game! |
