Funds will be used to purchase traditional Mexican folk-dance attire for the Ballet Folklorico dance team, which has been using the same outfits for over seven years during school-wide performances at attendance assemblies. The new attire will allow students to perform different regional dances using the appropriate attire, enhancing their learning experience. This initiative provides expanded, enriched learning opportunities, promoting access to broad, challenging, and accelerated learning with high expectations for all. Ballet Folklorico also gives students, particularly those who don't always excel academically, another way to shine and showcase their talents.

Our Parent Volunteers have been busy setting up our Community Care Closet, where we keep food, clothing basics, shoes, uniforms and hygiene items for when our families are in need.
