Dance Team-We are happy to announce that the Schiek sisters would once again like to lead a Warriors Dance Team! This is has been a great demonstration of rhythm and agility and a wonderful way to involve even more of our Lady Warriors in sports here at VCS. All of the details are not available just yet, but Abby and Brittany would like to have an idea of how many girls are interested and be able to communicate with interested parents directly. This is not a commitment, but if your grade 4-12 daughter has interest in the Warriors Dance Team, please complete the form below. In years past there has been one practice per week and performances at a few home basketball games. Details will shared as soon as they are available.
