For the second year, Oakdale Cheer Boosters and the Oakdale High Cheer program put on a successful cheer skills clinic for sixth, seventh and eighth graders just prior to try-outs for the junior high or high school cheer programs. The skills clinic, hosted Tuesday and Wednesday, March 14 and 15, was put on by the seniors as a fundraiser and an opportunity to teach important skill sets to those wanting to learn. Oakdale High senior Madison ‘Maddie’ Abell, in front, was among the several varsity cheerleaders who volunteered to teach at the clinic.
