The Poms program credits much of their success to a team philosophy that they strive to live up to each day. These goals and principles inspire them to be better on the dance floor and in life outside of dancing. The Ponderosa Poms Philosophy list reads:

Be humble and classy ladies, continue the legacy, be respected, be strong athletes in the classroom and on the dance floor, lead by example, entertain audiences with unique and original choreography, make a difference, learn something everyday, and work hard and have fun.

Outside of practice, games and competitions the Ponderosa dancers stay busy with community service and fundraising. They volunteer at and particpat in: Race for the Cure, The Children's Hospital, Praying Hands Ranch, Colorado Mental Health, and more. In 2007-2008 the team, led by senior Jenna Eyre, worked to gather supplies to send care packages to soilders in Iraq. Upon recieving many letters and thank you's from the men and women in Iraq, the dancers felt extreme pride for their efforts knowing they made a difference.
