Our children need to interact in as many venues as possible to broaden their social interaction. MORE after school activities are needed, not less. JazzCo is part of .the community which is part of school

Thank you all for pointing out what I neglected to say in the actual petition- that JazzCo promotes confidence, respect, self-esteem, teamwork, responsibility and leadership. The program's mission is to provide a dance program at Tuckahoe High School that is all-inclusive- regardless of gender, race, religion, size, dance talent or financial status.

Programs such as these keep our children busy which gives them less time to make a poor choice. It also is beneficial for their health with all the movement and exersize. It builds community and I support this program.

JazzCo is a great program and the kids love it, girls and boys.
Hi, Christina, JazzCo became part of the PTA because there were no other options available. Two years ago, when JazzCo was still functioning as a stand-alone program, I was told that JazzCo had to pay insurance in order to use school facilities. JazzCo had already been using the school facilities for 12 years without paying for insurance. I asked if JazzCo could be added to the school's insurance. I was told it was a possibility but no one got back to me. I pursued getting insurance for JazzCo alone and found out that insurance companies will not insure a small group like JazzCo. Therefore, we approached the PTA, became part of the PTA dance program, and were covered by PTA insurance. It's not that being part of the PTA is a bad thing. It's just not enough, as evidenced by the storage problem this year. JazzCo would not be asked to move costumes out of a high school closet if the budget included JazzCo. The PTA is wonderful, but Tuckahoe JazzCo deserves to be in the official school budget. The students involved deserve the same considerations that other high school programs in the budget are afforded.
