As fireworks light up the skies and communities across the nation gather in red, white, and blue, we extend our warmest wishes to the entire Spartan family for a joyful and safe Fourth of July! This Independence Day holds special meaning for all Americans, but for our Michigan State University community, this year’s celebration carries even more sparkle — it marks the Cheerleading Team’s Anniversary, a proud milestone in Spartan tradition, energy, and excellence.
From the sidelines of Spartan Stadium to the national stage, MSU Cheerleading has embodied school spirit, discipline, and an unwavering commitment to supporting our teams and uplifting our fans. As we honor America’s founding and the values of freedom, unity, and courage, we also celebrate the heart and soul of Spartan Nation — our students, alumni, fans, and especially those who bring the energy to every game day: our cheerleaders.
A Legacy of Spirit
For decades, MSU Cheerleading has been more than just flips, stunts, and chants. It has been about leadership, perseverance, and family. Every pom-pom raised, every cheer shouted, and every pyramid built is a reflection of the Spartan way — strong, determined, and always united.
This anniversary not only celebrates the current team’s efforts but also honors the generations of Spartan cheerleaders who paved the way. Alumni from every era can look back with pride at the role they played in lifting up teams and electrifying crowds. It’s a living legacy of green and white spirit that echoes louder with every year.
Celebration, Freedom, and Unity
The Fourth of July is about freedom — the freedom to dream, to achieve, and to thrive as individuals and communities. The MSU Cheer Team represents that dream in motion. Students from all walks of life come together to train, perform, and inspire — proving that teamwork, dedication, and passion know no boundaries.
As fireworks erupt across East Lansing and Spartan alumni celebrate across the country and around the world, we are reminded of the unbreakable bond we share. Whether you’re watching a parade, hosting a barbecue, or reflecting on the meaning of independence, know that the Spartan spirit is with you.
Stay Safe, Stay Proud
As we enjoy the festivities, let’s also remember to celebrate safely. Use caution with fireworks, stay hydrated, and look out for one another — because Spartans always take care of Spartans.
To the MSU Cheerleaders — past, present, and future — thank you for your tireless work, your dazzling performances, and the way you inspire pride in every green-and-white heart.
From all of us in Spartan Nation:
Happy Fourth of July! 🇺🇸
And Happy Anniversary to MSU Cheerleading! 🎉
Go Green! Go White! 💚🤍
Spartans Will.
