Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

I hope this message finds you well. As a proud member of the TMS community, I am reaching out to you with an exciting opportunity to support our thriving dance program.

At TMS, we are home to the talented Lionettes Dance Team and Dance Company.

These dedicated young dancers showcase their passion and commitment to the art of dance through their performances at school events, competitions, and community gatherings. As their coach/instructor, I have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of dance in their lives.

To further enhance our dance program and provide our students with the tools they need to excel, we are seeking donations to acquire ballet bars for our Dance Studio. Ballet bars are essential for dancers of all levels, aiding in strength-building, flexibility, and proper technique. With these bars in our studio, our students will have the opportunity to refine their skills and reach new heights in their dance journey.

Your generous contribution to this initiative will directly impact the lives of our dancers and enrich our school community. By supporting the Lionettes Dance Team and Dance Company, you are investing in the growth and development of aspiring young artists.

We would be honored to recognize your generosity through various channels, including social media shoutouts, acknowledgment at our performances, and signage in our dance studio.

Your support means the world to us and will make a meaningful difference in the lives of our students. Thank you for considering our request and for your commitment to the arts education at Todd Middle School.
