Let’s Give Them a Cheer!
At this year’s alumni banquet we plan to give a special group of alums a resounding tribute. All Penn Manor cheerleaders from the past will be honored. Please help get the word out among your classmates, other alumni friends, and especially all cheerleaders!
Our banquet will once again be held at the high school cafeteria beginning at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, April 17th. PMAA is holding this year’s banquet price at only $15 per person. Anyone who does not receive a formal invitation may call 872-9520 (extension 1934) to request one or download an invitation and reply card here.
We are planning an evening of food, fun and fellowship which will feature cheerleading activities, a salute to all football alums, and introduction of past Homecoming queens. There will be musical entertainment and, of course, a few surprises are planned. Hope you can make it!
