The Los Alamitos Education Foundation (LAEF) received a check for $8,168 from the Young Americans on Sunday, Jan. 10 during the finale performance of the performing arts workshop conducted that weekend.
The Young Americans workshop was facilitated by LAEF and was part of the “Turn Up The Music” campaign, which helps raise funds for arts programs and foundations. Over 120 students in grades 3-12 participated in the workshop and were mentored by 40 Young Americans in dancing, singing and acting. Students put on a 45-minute performance on Sunday displaying all the new talents and skills they had learned in the workshop.
“We are so grateful to the Young Americans for their amazing mentorship to the students of Los Alamitos USD this past weekend. We are pleased to present this workshop biennially and it was a pleasure to see a passion for the performing arts ignited in all participants,” said LAEF Executive Director, Carrie Logue.
