Cheers to the Kearney Cheerleaders for winning the coveted Spirit Award.

The Kearney Step Team won the Brooklyn-Queens Championship for the first time in 10 years, and coach and social studies teacher Brianne Rogers couldn’t hold in her excitement when she expressed her pride and admiration for the hard-working team.

“I am very proud,” she said. “They put their hearts into this competition and were unbelievably creative — their teamwork was admirable and truly exemplified what it means to be ‘Kearney Strong.’ ”

Co-captain Neesha Isaac credited her coach and the team on their success.

“We faced many obstacles throughout the season, but with the help of each other, and Ms. Rogers, and Ms. Reinfeld, we overcame those challenges and excelled,” she said.

Guidance counselor and cheer coach Jessica Parker commended the cheerleaders on their Kearney Spirit.

“These young women embody our school’s mission,” she said. “Their dedication to the school community and each other was evident in their spirited presentation.”
