CONGRATULATIONS DELANEY KAISER!
In the fall, Delaney entered her dance piece in the 2022 Reflections Program.
This past week, Delaney Kaiser was honored at the 33rd District PTA Reception. She advanced to the 33rd District level of competition and received a 3rd place award for Dance Choreography. Only 9 students from LBUSD placed 1st-3rd in the 33rd District competition. Thank you for representing Rogers with your creativity and talent!
In case you missed it, you still have 6 more opportunities this month to participate in our Dining for Dollars. It’s an easy way to give back to your school, and support one of our local partners.
