The Iowa School for the Deaf's four-member cheer squad made school history last month by scoring first place at a regional competition, but they say their victory speaks volumes.

That's why their team's win at this year's 34th Annual Great Plains Schools for the Deaf Conference is special. It's not about the title, Dunn said. It's about putting the ISD Bobcats and other deaf schools on the map — and not counting them out. Tap the link in our bio for more on this story. #Iowa #CouncilBluffs #deafcommunity #cheerleading
