My Project
My public school elementary students in Grades K-4 love to dance and move. Many of them need work in coordination and balance, especially those with health issues, special needs, and autism.
In our dance classes, we always work on core strength and flexibility; it would be wonderful to add safe mats and materials to our studio so that we can work or balance, coordination, and poise.
Help all children in our classes build skills to be successful, healthy, and well children. These skills will last a lifetime; help us build them today!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
