It's been awhile since I have been able to do a blog post with how busy we have been working on opening our new studio location in Riverbend and continuing to expand our range of programming for fall. I promise to update the blog more regularly in the next few months, but am very excited to be writing about our next community involvement endeavor.
Every September hundreds of Edmonton children will start the school year hungry. Having worked in an inner city school before starting J'Adore Dance I am well aware of the harsh realities these children will face every day. Proper nutrition is vital for early brain development and academic success, as well a physical and emotional health. Ensuring the Edmonton Food Bank has a good stock of nutritional food in its stores gives Edmonton's most valuable resource, our children and youth, a better chance for resilience and success.
It has always been important to me that J'Adore Dance make an effort to give back to our community and continue to help make Edmonton one of the best cities in the world to live! We will be collecting donations for the Edmonton Food Bank for the month of September. There are a few ways you can get involved:
1. Drop off a donation to our new J'Adore Dance, Fitness and Wellness Studio in the Riverbend Athletic club between August 31- September 30. You can find the address and map to our new studio in the contact section under locations.
2. Come to one of our $5.00 + Food Bank donation classes at the new studio between September 1- 9. A full listing on the classes is available on the main page of the website. Pre-registration is required.
3. Come to one of our free trial classes in Edmonton and greater area between September 14-18. A full listing on the classes is available on the main page of the website. Pre-registration is required.
Thank you so much for you support! Let's help the Edmonton Food Bank give our kids a great start at a new school year!
