The Weddington High School PTSO is raising $5,000 towards upgrading our auditorium sound system. This space hosts dozens of events each year—from Signing Day and athletic banquets to theater productions and the Talent Show. Our auditorium is the heart of our school and our current sound system is struggling to keep up with our impressive WHS talent. An upgraded sound system will improve the experience for students, families, teachers, and guests at every event held in the auditorium. We invite you to help support this important project. Thank you for investing in our students and helping their voices be heard!

Subject: What Dance Team Can Lead To After High School
Did you know that student athletes often stand out in college admissions and future career
opportunities due to their discipline, time management, and leadership experience?

Now imagine your student being part of a program designed not only for performance, but for
long term opportunity beyond high school.

Through our work with the North Carolina Dance Team Alliance, our athletes have already seen:
● College dance team offers extended on the spot at combines
● Over 20 clinic scholarships awarded
● Continued interest and recruitment from college programs
● Individual scholarship offers reaching significant financial value

For students interested in continuing dance in college, this program provides early exposure,
preparation, and access to those pathways. Even for those not pursuing dance at the next level, the experience builds a strong resume
through leadership, performance, and community involvement.

If your student has ever shown interest in dance, performance, or being part of a team

environment, this is an opportunity worth exploring.
