PHOTOS: Shining Stars cheerleaders got the chance to spend the afternoon with Rome-Floyd firefighters and learn how to use a fire hose Wednesday as part of their summer camp at Hot Shots gym.
Shining Stars is a program offered through Mission IsPossible, a local nonprofit, where kids with different disabilities get the opportunity to be an all star cheerleader. The group comes to all kinds of special events around Rome and Floyd County, including the Coosa Valley Fair.
Founder Grant Magness called them “the cheerleaders of the community,” since the kids come from all over. The Shining Stars members include kids who are deaf, blind or in a wheelchair.
Magness and the rest of the coaches are able to design a routine that gets them excited and moving.
During the summer, Hot Shots hosts a special camp for the kids.
