STROUDSBURG, MONROE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — In downtown Stroudsburg, the sidewalks are bare with a chill in the air. Inside Main Street Makery, however, heat from owner Lisa Diemer's oven warms up the shop.

“It’s cold, it’s damp, and people just don’t want to stroll the streets of Stroudsburg. So we offer classes that are prescheduled, so they have a destination to come into a nice warm kitchen.”

Offering up all types of classes; such as how to decorate cakes, making spritz butter cookies or fresh bread Diemer keeps up with the times.

The Stroudsburg Cheer team is the foundation of school spirit in the Pocono Mountain region. Known for their vibrant energy and fun performances, the team has made a name for itself in the halls of the Stroudsburg High School. Whether hyping up the crowd at Friday night football games or competing, this team continues to work harder and embody strong teamwork skills.

As the team prepares for yet another game, let’s take a closer look at what makes Stroudsburg Cheer stand out from the rest. 

The Stroudsburg Chess team wraps up its 2024-2025 season with a record of 6-4-1. In a season many thought would be a rebuilding year, instead, Stroudsburg proved to be competitive and exceeded expectations.

Stroudsburg came into this season with six new members and only five seniors. Some feared after last season’s struggles, the trend would carry over into this season.
