Even though we believe every season is a season of gratitude, we enjoy the opportunity to reflect on and celebrate all the wonderful people, programs, and events that keep us rooted in gratitude all year long. As we enter into this season of thanks, we celebrate our community partners: Magnolia Blossom Preschool, St. Johns Swapnplay, Bridge Meadows, The Aspire Project, Roosevelt High School, Assumption Village, and Harvest Homes. We are so grateful that these organizations share our vision to foster self-determination through the creative engagement of the community in the performing arts. But that's not all! Here are just a few other highlights from this year that give us reason to be grateful:

• Beautiful studio space with amazing building partners (we're lookin' at you, Aspire Project!)
• Five new teachers at the Collective—Larissa, Tony, Justine, Zero, and Lisa, we are so thrilled to teach and learn alongside you!
• One new Board member—Welcome, Noelle!
• Expanded partnership with Roosevelt High School: Roosevelt Singers!
• Even more community events to engage performing artists of all ages: monthly (No Mic) Open Mics, choir concerts, Roots-n-Harmony, showcases, Carols for a Cause...the list goes on!
