Our Central East High School, Danzantes de Tlaloc celebrated their 25th Anniversary Showcase. The Mexican Folkloric dance group, shared their love of Mexican #cultura by performing 30 dances in front of a sold out crowd on Friday Night.

Founded in 1997, the dance group started as an after school program by then Spanish Teacher Alfonso Jimenez. Several years later, the program converted into a class, "Danzantes de Tlaloc" which translates to, Aztec God of Rain. In 2005, Rosa Gonzalez became the director and is the current Director today. Currently, there are over 100 dancers. Most recently, a program has been established to include alumni dancers as performers and instructors. The program concluded the 22-23 school year with the annual Showcase Friday night at the Central East Performing Arts Center. Senior dancers were also highlighted for their commitment and their dance projects, like La Loba del Mal from Baja California: estillo Calabaceado - which was a new dance being performed for the first time. And although this was a bittersweet moment for some dancers, these performances were a true representation of the diversity in the Central Community.

Thank you Danzantes de Tlaloc for including the #Foundation4Central in this beautiful night and we are happy to support the growth of this beautiful program.

There's a special reading corner at Harvest Elementary for Ms. Donat's classroom.

With over 3,000 books available in a variety of reading levels, a reclining chair and cozy seats! During a typical day in the classroom, you will see students curled up with a good book in the classroom library. Plus, the classroom library now provides chapter books on CD.

Thank you Ms. Donat! The Foundation Classroom Project Grant was awarded to Ms. Donate to help students achieve their reading goals, by creating a welcoming and calming space, to engage in the power of reading.
