SK Players and Cheerleaders West Chester First Responders
Plant Living Memorial Trees
Visit Maplewood Manor
The Sigourney-Keota football team and cheerleaders along with Coach Jared Jensen and Cheer
Sponsor Jenny Thompson visited Maplewood Manor residents on Tuesday, October 14 around 1:00
p.m.
The players introduced themselves and the positions that they play. Colton Schwenke, Sigourney
Homecoming King, gave a brief summary about the Sigourney Homecoming events form the previ-
ous week. The Cheerleaders also introduced themselves. They then performed several cheers and
cheered on residents as they took turns throwing footballs thru a hula hoop.
The visitors divided into teams and were challenged to football trivia. The activity ended with
everyone enjoying homemade brownies and pumpkin bars provided by the dietary department.
