Frazier
Elementary School's CASE after school program's hip hop
group performed on the ice during intermission at a
Houston Aeros game recently.
CASE
coordinator Susan Blue said she asked the hockey team if
her students could perform at a game this year because
she thought it would be great for the community to see
the talent her students have.
"The
students did an outstanding job," she said. "I'm very
proud of them and their teacher, Dana Thomas. They all
worked so hard to get ready for the performance, and it
paid off."
The CASE
students showed that same performance to their peers
during a school pep rally recently.
The CASE
after school program offers a different enrichment
activity each day of the week. Along side of hip hop
dance, students also participate in art, computers,
karate, photography, Homework Club, Game Time and recess
every day. Thomas is the hip hop dance teacher, and Blue
is the program director.
"Our
students are able to experience many things in CASE they
would not otherwise have the opportunity to experience,"
Blue said. "The kids love CASE and often don't want to
leave when it's time for them to go. Our program gives
kids an enriching, fun and safe place to go every day
after school."
