  "account": "The Cincinnati Enquirer invites readers to participate in the weekly Spirit Award voting poll, highlighting cheerleaders and dance teams across various schools. Fans and friends can cast votes for two weekly ballots: one for individual recognition and another for team honors. Only coaches can submit nominations, either for their squads or other teams, with eligibility limited to varsity girls and boys cheerleaders and dancers who embody virtues such as love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.\n\nNominations focus on squads that exhibit unity, hard work, and exceptional behavior, both within their team and in serving others. Winners will be featured in a Friday story, receiving digital certificates and the opportunity to showcase their achievements in an upcoming gallery. Coaches can contact mlaughman@enquirer.com for inquiries, to join the email list, and to submit nominations, with the deadline being Monday by noon.\n\nThis week's ballots include Lucy Barnes from Bishop Fenwick, Malia Crawford from Winton Woods, Aubrey Eustice from Taylor, Skylar Fockler from South Dearborn, Jesslyn Roberts from Milford, and Maddy Yenser from Lakota East. Each nominee has demonstrated remarkable leadership, dedication, and a commitment to uplifting their teams and school communities through their exceptional cheerleading and dance abilities.",
