Polson High dance team needs funds Polson High dance team needs funds

News from Jeff Platt POLSON — A handful of girls at Polson High School have started a brand-new dance club to promote school spirit and support student-athletes through halftime performances. The girls are full of Pirates pride and want to share that with the entire school and community at-large. The only issue is they are a club, not a team, which means the school gives them no funding.
