Alfie and I want to Thank you for all your support, help and dedication. Our program would not be successful if we didn't have parents like you. You have been giving of yourselves. We are forever grateful, that you let us borrow your children 2-3 times a week.They really are like our own family. We love every single one of them. They are all talented in their own areas. Some are stronger dancers then drummers some are stronger drummers then dancers, and some can do both amazingly. Our 2nd year as taught us soo much. Not just about working with children but about ourselves as well. Every single one of this kids has taught us something, and we will carry those lessons.
Thank you for braving the cold, rain.. and hot. The time changes..and much more.
Even though we loved everysingle one of our performances, we have to agree that the highlight of the year was Tucson High. I am sad that not everyone could make it, but happy for all those that did. It is an experience that the kids will remember forever. We will be working a lot more with the Jovert program, speicfically with Khris Dodge. As most of you already know, They have given us the biggest gift we could ever ask for.. they will be purchasing all new instrusments and equipment just for us for our next year.
To have all of you and those in our community believe in our vision, and support what we are passionate about is humbling, rewarding and a blessing.
Some have asked what our goals are.. where we see ourselves and this program. And the answer is to continue working with the youth. Finding ways to get kids of all ages, backgrounds, working together no matter what school they are from. Our long term school is be in a community center, become a Non-profit, find a space in the community where kids can come and learn and experience what its like to discover themselves through music. We want to continue the Mentor program, and ask other High schools to join us. Tucson High is looking at starting a CCS Mentor Club for the next school year..how cool is that?! We are all inspiring each other, as teachers, parents, mentors and kids.
Again thank you for all that you have done! we hope you have a great summer
Ache
Lupe and Alfie
