Congratulations to all Mid America Scholars!!!!
Check out our scholar listing; it is sorted by League then by last name. We have 1st and 2nd team scholars. Our top 35 football and cheer have been designated 1st team and the remainder qualified scholars have been named 2nd team. We are very proud of our scholars! They had to maintain a 96% for last years’ report card and fill out an addendum with their accomplishments.
Please check grade, name spelling, team, association and town. If you have any corrections please contact me at patriciakirkwood@sd54.org and I will make the corrections.

Pop Warner is the largest youth football and cheerleading program in the nation. Pop Warner football has been around since the inception of the league in 1929 by founder Joseph J. Tomlin as a four-team conference in Northeast Philadelphia. Since then, participation has steadily increased to today's record numbers. The organization currently serves more than 360,000 youth participates in football, cheer, and dance programs nationally.
Pop Warner exists to use football, cheerleading, dance and a respect for education to develop strong, smart, responsible, healthy young men and women. We give them experiences that build their appreciation for and understanding of leadership, teamwork, and discipline.
While individual statistics may be more common, particularly among older football players, Pop Warner only recognizes the athletic accomplishments of the team, not the individual. We applaud the athletic efforts of the team to reinforce the importance of teamwork, with each member.
We don't try to build stars. We don't want to over-inflate a young ego, nor do we want to risk injuring the self-esteem of a young person. Whether our kids have good days or bad, they are still an integral part of our team and always will be.
