get your parents and whomever else parents who thinks it’s a good idea then go to your principal and maybe even get a parent who could be the squad leader person!!

You’ll definitely need a lot of students and parents on your side, so ask around and be sure there’s enough interest and support.
Approach your principal about meeting with him/her and your parents or a teacher interested in sponsoring the team. (It’s hard to be a kid and feel like you are on equal footing with a principal in this kind of discussion, so having another adult in the room might make you feel more comfortable.)
Have answers ready to questions like: How much will this cost and where will the money come from? (Fundraising, etc) Is this a safe activity? (Yes, if it is done right and your school invests in mats and a qualified coach. If you need safety facts, you can get them here: http://aescougarcheer.com/Cheer101/coaching.htm#safety )
Be prepared to have to do it all over again i front of the school board, if that is what the principal suggests.
Good luck, and I hope you get your cheering program! :^D
