A friend reached out to share that our Arts After 5 students are showcased in this week's West Orange Observer for Moana Jr! If anyone is in the Winter Garden Arena and can grab me a few copies let me know. Still bursting with pride at the incredible job they did!

I took some time to recover, but my heart is still so full. Moana Jr. was truly a labor of love—for myself, our amazing students, and the incredible volunteers who made it all possible. 💖

The kids poured their hearts into every performance, and I couldn’t be prouder of them. Their passion and dedication lit up the stage and touched everyone who watched.

A huge THANK YOU to the parents, volunteers, and generous organizations who gave, lent, and supported us in so many ways. Special thanks to:
🎨 Dave Whitaker – for painting our beautiful set
🚀 Go Full STEAM
💙 The West Orange Dream Center
🌴 East Winter Garden Community
🙏 St. Luke’s UMC
🎭 Our amazing Teaching Artists
