The Dance Teams!!

We currently have two dance troupes - Attitude and EnVie. Over the past few months, each team has been busy performing on programs throughout the city. Precision, choreography and grades are all on point. Shh!! It's hard to beat our teams.

Oh, I forgot, we had an audition for Attitude and it was very successful. Congratulations to all who became members!

SINGING, OVER AND OVER...

The Foundation's choir hasn't been sitting around lately either. Each Saturday, they work hard on vocal performances and preparing for the next event. Thanks to Choir Director Betty Robinson, the choir is becoming RED HOT.
