The Mepham High School kickline team recently held a car wash to raise money for their upcoming season.

In February 2009, for the second straight year, the Pirettes squad placed first in two categories at the Scholastic Kickline Competition at Nassau Community College, earning the Champion of Champions title in the lyrical and pom categories after securing the highest cumulative score in a series of three competitions. The girls also placed first in kick in their division.

The Pirettes hold fundraisers throughout the year to help pay for their uniforms, competition costs and other expenses that they may incur throughout the season. The car wash was the first fundraiser of the new school year and was a great way to kick off the season.
