Volunteer Cheer Competition

By Janelle Kelcey 

Here at Lang, our volunteers truly are the roots of our community!  So put on your thinking caps – we’re asking you to create a Lang cheer to root on our amazing volunteers!  The winning cheer will be presented by the staff at the Volunteer Meet & Greet on April 30th 2016! Below are some examples. Please submit your winning cheer by 4:00pm Tuesday April 26th. 

Here are a few examples for inspiration!

2, 4, 6, 8
We think volunteers are great!
3, 5, 7, 9
Our volunteers are oh, so fine!

(clapping)
So start the beat, beat
Volunteers are sweet, sweet
You can’t compete, pete
They can’t be beat, beat

(Call & Response, military cadence style)
I don’t know but I’ve been told!
Volunteers have hearts of gold!
Thank-you!
Thank-you!

Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you… thank-you!

Good luck!
