GRAPELAND – Shaylie Rice, a member of the Grapeland Junior High cheerleading team, will represent Varsity Spirit in the 2022 Orlando Thanksgiving Tour at The Walt Disney World Resort on Nov. 22-25. Cheerleaders and dancers invited to perform at the event are part of a select group of individuals chosen from Varsity Spirit summer camps across the country.

Varsity Spirit is a leader in cheerleading, dance team, band apparel, and educational camps, clinics, and competitions, celebrating over thirty years of honoring educational camp standouts. Only twelve percent of the cheerleaders and dancers earn the distinction of participating in a performance of this caliber.

Of the opportunity, Rice said, “I am so thankful to be nominated as an All-American Cheerleader for Grapeland Junior High. I never thought in a million years I would get this award. I am so excited to be able to march and dance in the Thanksgiving Parade at Disney with my family by my side. Thank you to everyone that donated money toward making this trip possible for me.”
