The 25th annual Maine State Junior High School and Elementary Cheering Championships took place on Sunday, March 6, at Bangor’s Cross Insurance Center.  The event is organized and directed each year by the Calais Recreation Department.

After the global pandemic prevented the competition for the last two years, it was back with 43 teams participating.  The teams were made up of cheerleaders in grades kindergarten through eight.
