championship-winning pyramid,” the coach told them. “But it would take a lot of work—especially on your part, Lacey.”
    â€œI’ll do whatever it takes,” Lacey said.
    â€œThe state competition is only a week away,” the coach reminded everyone.
    â€œThen we should start practicing now,” Lacey said, grabbing her pom-poms.
    As Lacey and the other cheerleaders raced back into the gym to begin practicing, Emma W. turned to Katie. “You really saved the day for my sister,” she said. “Thanks.”
    Katie smiled. “It wasn’t a big deal.”
    Emma W. said, “You have no idea what Lacey can be like when she’s upset. It was a huge deal.” To prove it, Emma W. raised her arms high in the air. “K-A-T-I-E! Katie is the friend for me!”

    â€œHey, do you guys want to play football?” Kevin asked Katie at recess on Monday.
    Katie shook her head. “I already promised Mandy and the Emmas that I would jump rope.”
    â€œMaybe they’ll want to play football instead?” Kevin asked her.
    â€œI don’t think so,” Katie said. “Why don’t you get Jeremy or Manny?”
    â€œNone of the guys from class 4B are here,” Kevin said. “They’re all in the library.”
    â€œThe library?” Katie asked. “At recess?” That didn’t make any sense at all.
    Kevin nodded. “It’s the only place they can get away from the pom-pom squad,” he explained. “There’s no cheering allowed in the library. So Suzanne and the rest of the girls are pestering other kids. Just look.”
    Kevin was right. The 4B squad was cheering for the third-graders who were playing hopscotch.
    â€œThrow that key. Hop to three. Reach the ten. Come back again!”
    They also cheered on the second-graders who were playing tag.
    â€œRun, run, run. Don’t get hit. Because if you’re tagged, you are it.”
    Katie sighed. “The 4B pom-pom squad is splitting up our whole grade.”
    â€œIt’s different for high school cheerleaders,” Emma W. said. “They’re cheering for their whole school, not just one grade or one class, the way the pom-pom squad is ...”
    Suddenly, Katie got one of her great ideas. A huge smile flashed across her face. “Emma W., you’re a genius!” she exclaimed.
    â€œThanks,” Emma W. answered happily. Then she paused. “Why am I a genius?” she asked.
    â€œYou’ll see,” Katie said. “I think I know how to make everyone friends again. I just have to get Mr. G.’s permission. Will you guys come with me to talk to him after recess?”
    Mandy and the two Emmas all nodded.

    â€œMr. G., we think this school needs some spirit,” Katie told her teacher a little while later as the kids in her class came back from recess.
    â€œ School spirit,” Emma W. added. “Not just class spirit.”
    Mr. G. nodded. “There has been a lot of cheering in class 4B lately.”
    â€œAnd nowhere else,” Katie said. “That’s the problem. We all go to one school. Shouldn’t we be cheering about that?”
    â€œIt makes perfect sense to me,” Mr. G. said.
    â€œThat’s why we thought the fourth grade could host a pep rally for the whole school,” Katie explained. “Every grade would be there. We could do it in the gym. That’s big enough to hold everyone.”
    â€œWe could have pom-poms, and maybe write a school cheer,” Mandy said.
    â€œOne that everyone could learn,” Katie added.
    â€œI think that sounds like a great idea,” Mr. G. said. “I’ll talk to Principal Kane about it.”
    As Katie and her friends took their seats, Emma W. whispered to Katie, “Do you think Principal Kane will say yes to a pep rally?”
    Katie held up her right hand and crossed her fingers tight.
