Dancers Collect 77 Pounds of Food for the Wellington Food Bank


Parent Watch Week Food Drive Collects 77 Pounds of Food! Wellington KS – Oct. 16, 2015


When I opened my doors in 2010 I wanted to use the studio as a platform to “do good” in the community. One of my first ideas was to use parent watch week to collect food or money for the Wellington Food Bank. Supporting the community and giving the dancers a sense of pride helping those in need are important to me. (See more of our studio values by clicking here.)

What is Parent Watch Week?
Parent watch week is an exciting “showtime” for dancers. During this week, parents or grandparents, are invited to come watch their dancers in class. Proud dancers attempt to have class as normal, as they show their loved ones everything they have learned in the fall session. Families get to see all the fun things they do during class, from entering the classroom and working on skills, to choreography, good bye dances, and their bow at the end of class. Admission to watch class is a donation to the Wellington Food Bank.

Over the years our dance families have donated over 600 items plus monetary donations for the Wellington Food Bank. Our most recent food drive was Oct. 12-15, where we collected 70 items for the Wellington Food Bank - a whopping 77 pounds! We look forward to our next food drive in the spring. Watch the studio facebook page, and studio emails for more information.
