Welcome our newest partner: Learning Tree

      Thanks to the hard work of Mrs. Minerva Hernandez and Mrs. Terry Perez we have been able to design a program for Learning Tree's four middle schools in the NISD. We have created the Dance Expressions Crew (DEC), a character building program for young men. The DEC program will focus on one character trait per one hour lesson. Character traits to be focused on include: Respect, Trustworthiness, Caring, Responsibility and many more useful social skills.


      In addition to character building, participants will be taught breakdancing. Dance moves are broken down to the simplest movements and taught to the students as exercises. During the span of the DEC program students will build muscle memory as well as improve muscle strength, flexibility and cardiovascular health. We are extremely excited and thankful for this opportunity and would like to that everyone that has helped us get this far. Please take a moment to learn more about Learning Tree is the video below.
