Teachers and students have loved our last Virtual Field Trip of the school year featuring Versa-Style Dance Company! We were discussing how to have a Growth Mindset, be proactive, and follow your dreams. Seeing so many different types of people performing really showed the students that anyone can do anything with practice and hard work. -Cambria Grammar School Teacher (K-2nd)... The content was fantastic, and the presentation provided for so much interaction and movement! -Bellevue-Santa Fe Charter School Teacher (2nd-3rd) This performance is generously sponsored by Bank of the Sierra
