P.P.O. is wrapped up on Thursday with tug-of-war. Like most other sports. P.P.O. has it ' s own cheerleaders, but with a slightly different twist. Over the past years, it has become a tradition that each team recruit, and sometimes draft male cheerleaders to keep their spirit high and full of encouragement. Each team decorates and rides in their own vehicle in the parade on Friday. They flag their spirits, not only for their team, but for their school, and to build the spirits of each and every person.
