Ava Sheils from the Warwick Valley Middle School and CDA Xtreme, in Chester, NY, has been selected along with more than 500 junior high and high school cheerleaders and dancers from across the U.S. to perform in the 100th Annual Philadelphia Thanksgiving Day Parade, the oldest Thanksgiving Day parade in the nation. The event is televised in the Philadelphia area and syndicated throughout the United States.
Sheils earned the All-American title via tryout based on superior cheerleading skills. Only the top 10% of the cheerleaders who attend Varsity Spirit camps in the summer receive this honor and the chance to march in this prestigious holiday parade.
