Showing off the Goods - Visitor's Day 2009

On Wednesday, July 8, we celebrated Visitor’s Day. This day is when all the donors for Breakthrough come to see the children in their classes.

“Visitor’s Day is mainly about showing all our donors who took some of their time to see what we’re made of,” 7th grader Wayne Sanders said.

All of the children preformed shows for the visitors. The BT chorus performed the song “Thriller” by Michael Jackson, while Bernard Meyer’s gumboot class and Jason Wallace’s step team performed dance routines.

“It’s a really great way to show off all the great work and see what being breakalicious means,” 7th grade English teacher Alyssa Roark said.

Visitor's Day is also a time for potential donors to decide whether they want to give to the program.

“Visitor’s Day is very exciting for all of our donors because when the visitors come, they want to contribute more money to the program.” says Site Director Jamael Stewart.
