A huge congratulations to our 5th grade students for their incredible performance in the Dancing Classrooms Showcase! For the past ten weeks, our students have been learning dances from around the world, and this past Friday they took the stage for an assembly with parents and our 4th grade students to share their new skills.
Their confidence, teamwork, and enthusiasm were on full display — and we couldn’t be more proud!
A special thank you to Guy and Katie Pietra for generously sponsoring the Dancing Classrooms project and making this unforgettable experience possible for our students. It was truly inspiring to see (and hear!) the growth, joy, and cultural appreciation this program brought to JAG.
