Students at my school DESERVE this opportunity! My school is a Title I elementary serving 220 low income students. Our students do not have opportunities for extracurricular activities that other area students take for granted. One of our kindergarten staff member who has taken ballet all of her life is willing to teach students after school for free if I can arrange ballet equipment (barres). The discipline, fitness level, and self-confidence of my students would definitely be enhanced leading to improvements as students. My school is an ELL-school(English Language Learners)in an otherwise affluent district. Many of our students speak English as a second language. The more experiences we can offer our students the greater the chance of "leveling the playing field" when it comes to district and state testing. We don't want a 'hand-out' just a hand held out in friendship to help. We're counting on YOU!
