My Project

Gearing Up with Glitz: Support the Daley Middle School Dance Team in Getting New Uniforms!

The middle school dance team plays a vital role in promoting school spirit, teamwork, and athleticism.

As they perform at school pep rallies, they inspire students and staff to show their pride! Our dance team includes students from grades five through eight. No prior dance experience is required to be a member of our crew! Students from across our building come together in this unique atmosphere to collaboratively build technique, learn choreography, and put on the ultimate performances.

To enhance their performance and heighten school spirit, the team is in need of pom-poms and ribbons. Donating these materials to the dance team would not only help improve their performance caliber, but also help them feel highlighted and appreciated for their tireless dedication!

Having a matching set of pom-poms creates a sense of unity within our team. We do not have uniforms, so having pom-poms would allow us to show up and look like a well-synchronized group. When all team members have the same equipment, it promotes equality and helps build a sense of belonging.

Pom-poms are a key part of many other schools' dance team routines. Pom-poms add visual excitement and energy to student performances. Bright, vibrant pom-poms can enhance the stage presence of the team, making their performances more eye-catching for the audience.

Poms would be a testament to the dancer's hard work. You will not only be supporting the growth of the dance team, but contributing to an engaged school culture!

We sincerely hope that you consider this opportunity to make a lasting impact on our middle school dance team. Your support would go a long way in helping these young athletes continue to thrive and inspire those around them.

Keep grooving!

Ms. Pratt James S Daley Middle School Grades 6-8
