Fundraising Projects

What an absolutely fabulous day! The children worked so hard in their Musical Theatre lessons and their performances showed it! It was a pleasure to watch all of the performances, seeing children shine with confidence. Thank you to everyone who helps the PTA fundraise and comes to the events to help us raise money to be able to do things like this.— with Emma Ward Dance & Performing Arts.
