Lori Killino’s “Good Works” For Special Needs Children

The Lackawanna County Commissioners honored Lori Killino, center, the Mid Valley football cheerleading coach for her efforts in establishing the “Pride Squad,” an area-wide cheerleading team for special needs children.  The “squad” features 15 children, ranging from five to 10 years old with Down Syndrome or Autism.  The youngsters participating in the program are from Mid Valley, the Abingtons, Carbondale, Lakeland, Throop, Scranton, Jefferson Township, Moscow and Wallenpaupack.  The children learn the basic fundamentals of cheerleading, chants, dance routines, communication and social skills, and team bonding.
