As one of the most complicated stunts they perform, the Cheerleading team stacks on top of one another forming a pyramid with a Westwood ‘W’. “The pyramid was challenging because we had to put a lot of faith in each other to be able to throw Audri Moreno ‘27 high enough so she wouldn't hit Mia Zell ‘28 while flying over,” Cheerleader Jenna Hallidy ‘25 said. Although this new advanced routine heavily challenged the cheerleaders, they persevered to make the Pep Rally a success.

Hi, I’m Emily, and I’m the Executive Editor of the Westwood Student Press. I love reading and designing, and I hate avocados. I always have music playing in the background, whether I’m doing homework or taking a nap. I drink a lot of water, and consequently I invest of a lot of energy into decorating my Nalgene bottle with pretty stickers. I weed out my fake friends by making my birthday incorrect on Facebook so only the fake friends wish me a happy birthday on my fake birthday. My favorite book is The Secret History by Donna Tartt; it’s a book about friends killing friends for the sake of the Aesthetic™. So it goes.
