A Message from Ms. Sarah:
"Thank you to all who came out to celebrate with me and to all who donated so far. We've raised a couple of hundred dollars to be put toward a semester of Sing, Dance & Make Believe classes for a family who might not otherwise be able to afford it! Donations continue to come in and it's not too late if you want to donate as well. More than anything, I want you to know how special our time together has been over the years. Thanks for all the memories and let's keep dancing!"
