WCMS student Makenzie Morgan was selected along with more than 500 junior high and high school cheerleaders and dancers from across the U.S. to perform in the annual Philadelphia Thanksgiving Day Parade, the oldest Thanksgiving Day parade in the nation.
The individuals invited to perform in the parade are cheerleading and dance All-Americans selected from Varsity Spirit camps around the country, including camps organized by Universal Cheerleaders Association (UCA), Universal Dance Association (UDA), National Cheerleaders Association (NCA), National Dance Alliance (NDA), and Urban Cheerleading Experience (UCE).
All-Americans performed alongside massive floats and giant balloons, as well as favorites from the entertainment world as the 2025 Thanksgiving Day Parade made its way through the heart of historic Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Makenzie earned the All-American title via tryout based on superior cheerleading or dance skills. Only the top 15% of the cheerleaders and dancers who attend Varsity Spirit camps in the summer receive this honor and the chance to march in the prestigious Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Way to go, Makenzie; we are proud of your accomplishment!
