Celebrate Rising Stars: Prizes for Talent Show!
Funded Dec 2, 2024Thank you so much for your incredibly generous donation to my DonorsChoose project, "Celebrate Rising Stars: Prizes for Talent Show." With your support, we were able to provide stellar prizes for our annual Talent Show winners, and your contribution made a lasting impact on their experience.
The Talent Show has become a highly anticipated event for our students, a chance for them to showcase their skills, express their creativity, and shine in front of their peers. This year, your donations helped elevate the entire experience by giving the winners a meaningful and tangible reward for their hard work and dedication.
To see the look of sheer joy on their faces when they received the DonorsChoose prizes was priceless. It was a moment of recognition for their talents, and for many, it was an affirmation of their confidence and ability to succeed.
Your support also sent a powerful message to all of our students—that their efforts, no matter how big or small, are valued and celebrated. The prizes were not just an incentive, but a reminder that their passions matter, and that hard work deserves to be recognized. Seeing the winners bask in their achievements was an inspiration for the other students, motivating them to try new things, step out of their comfort zones, and perhaps, next year, participate in the Talent Show themselves.
Again, I cannot thank you enough for your thoughtful and generous donation. You have made a meaningful difference in their lives, and I am so grateful for your support.”

Uniform Shoes for a Unified Choir
Funded Nov 4, 2022Thank you very much for your generous donations. With your support, our tenors and basses in Chamber Choir look as confident as they sound. With their new black dress shoes, they look unified and professional for our performances and competitions. Thank you.
Chamber Choir recently sang in the 2023 YVMEA Choir Adjudication, where our tenors and basses wore their brand new uniform shoes. We received a 10 out of 10 for the "appearance" category from the judges. Overall, we scored a SUPERIOR rating, which is the top score a choir can earn.
