The outreach program in Valley Park has made waves thanks to your dedication you bring to the arts an underserved population. It is one of the leading programs that supported the programming initiatives in Valley Park that is driven by local volunteers. Jennifer Reynolds, who leads the outreach program, works not only with her 40 students, but with their entire families. Just visit Valley Park on any given afternoon, and you will see the impact that Jennifer and the Valley Park Activities Board has had in the community.

On behalf of Bluegrass Youth Ballet and all of the staff, I would just like to thank a special month. I was going to speak in Spanish. Oops. Especially Peggy Henson and Mayor Gray for all of their support. Also Parks and Recreation and the Jesse Higginbotham Neighborhood Center and the Valley Park Board for all of their support and all of the things that they have done for us this year. I just want to, I think we can skip that if you want. Or do you want me to show the pictures? Oh, that's great. Okay, really quick, I have a little bit of a presentation with some pictures. In August, I started this outreach program in Valley Park, which is in the middle of a mainly Latino neighborhood. I offer bilingual classes Monday through Thursday. I've done that all year. The park activity board has been behind us and helped me from walking me to my car every night to volunteering to helping with the parents. We've had a wonderful time. Most of my students are Latino. Most of their families speak Spanish, but we've brought together Caucasian, African American, and Latino families. and most of the kids are able to walk to the park as well so it's been a great location. It was a parks and rec building that before was mostly not being used and now we have several activities going on there. You can join us this Saturday for a Mother's Day festival. The women who have been crocheting in the kitchen during my ballet classes will be selling their crafts. So this Saturday from 2 to 6 you can join us in Valley Park and next Saturday we're going to have our studio presentation at Bluegrass Youth Ballet at 6 p.m. So thank you very much once again to Councilmember Henson, to Lexington, Fayette County Urban Government and Parks and Recreation, and also to LexArts for their support of this program. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. And now I'll ask Councilmember Clark to join me, and we are going to recognize the second group of dancers. Along with Councilmember Clark, we are recognizing tonight the Dunbar Dance Team. And so if you all will join us up here around the podium. and then we'll get a picture in a minute.

In addition to many first-place finishes this year, The team was named the Grand Champions at the U.S. Spirit Nationals this last March.

I'd like to add my congratulations to this great group for their national championship in particular, but for all the All the trophies you've won this year, when I look at the accomplishments of the Dunbar dance team, I think of traditions in our society. For instance, I think of the U.K. cheerleaders and their incredible record and the recognition they've gotten. And they've been national champions for many, many years, haven't they? And among all the qualities that lend themselves to championships, I think that tradition plays a major role. And a Dunbar tradition of excellence, hard work and commitment and sacrifice, whether it's this dance team or your cheerleaders or the band or the soccer team or your incredible academic teams, that's Dunbar tradition a tradition of excellence and a tradition of tradition of many things that go into the hard work and unless you're there council members and audience unless you're there unless you've done it it's really hard to explain what goes into something like this and these girls have made the sacrifice and you have won the prize and we're very very proud of you congratulations So now I'm going to do this in the correct order this time and present to you all this commemoration that honors the Dunbar High School girls dance team. and it has each one of your names on here.
