Make D.R.E.A.M. Come True!
We would like to introduce you to Charity, a student at A. Harry Moore School that has participated in Project D.R.E.A.M. for the past 2 years. She loves to dance. Charity credits her positive dance experience to the teaching artists from Nai-Ni Chen Dance Company. She hopes to participate in Project D.R.E.A.M. “forever until she graduates”. Click HERE to listen to Charity speak eloquently about her dance experience during Project D.R.E.A.M.

You can help us give more students at A. Harry Moore School the same experience as Charity. Your help is needed to match a grant received from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts in order to expand Project D.R.E.A.M, to deepen the learning experience, and to allow more A. Harry Moore students to enjoy dance like every other child.
