Cheer for the Hawks!

Hey Hawks! I’m Olivia Cafone and I’m going into my second year as one of the kindergarten teachers at Vanguard West as well as the 4-8 cheerleading coach! After receiving my bachelors in psychology and masters in elementary education at Fairleigh Dickinson University in New Jersey, I chose to move to Colorado and I love it more everyday! If I’m not at school I love practicing yoga, reading, drawing, painting or hiking and exploring all the nature Colorado has to offer! I come from a background of dance & cheerleading myself so it’s been such a fun journey to bring back up that passion and share it with new faces at Vanguard.  I’m so excited for another year to help grow our team and cheer family we were able to create last year. Watching our cheerleaders grow and gain their confidence has been one of the most rewarding things for me! 

I’m a 10 year Army veteran, retired. I have been a part of team sports all the way through high school. Baseball up through middle school and basketball through high school. Last year, 2021, I started coaching and have absolutely loved it. I love being a part of a team and teaching kids what it means to be part of a team. Looking forward to another great year of sports at Vanguard.
