My Students

My students are super nerdy and they excel at academics. In any case, if they have a GPA lower than 2.5, they are ineligible to participate in cheerleading and dance teams.

My students are extremely dedicated to their sports activities although it is not always easy, with their packed schedules.

My students cheer at football and soccer games. They are an important part of the school spirit. Same for the dance team. They participate in Mardi Gras parades with great success. My dance team also participates in competitions.

My Project

In addition to competitions, my dance team often performs in the atrium or foyer of the school and we need some folding chairs for spectators who cannot stand for more than a few minutes. It can be parents, or grandparents or anyone who has a physical need to sit.

My dance team performs during our athletic events, and school-wide events such as back-to-school night, welcome night, and sports award ceremonies to name just a few.

Many times, they perform in small group settings in the foyer for a small audience. This is when the chairs will come in handy.

Through these events, my girls learn about stage performance, they learn their routines and how to synchronize their dance movements and they also learn about team and community spirit, and leadership. These performances are very important to strengthening our community.
