Cheerleaders clean up highway

ByMarcy Curtis

            MANTI—The Manti High School Cheer Team has adopted the highway between Manti and Ephraim and each summer they clean it for their team service project.

Manti High Cheer Team members show off a little during their annual highway cleanup project.


            This is something that their coach, Trisha Hyde, does as a team bonding experience. It’s a way to give back to the community and get to know their teammates on another level.
