Beyond the Cypher: Celebrating the Culture We Create Together
SAVE THE DATE!
December 10, 2026, at 6:00 PM
In the next two months, our students are going to be immersed in an incredible residency experience with Unity Charity. This amazing experience has been made possible through the generous support of our School Council. Through dance, creativity, graffiti art, movement, and self-expression, students will be exploring the power of hip-hop culture while building confidence, community, and belonging.
Save this date so you can join us for Beyond the Cypher: Celebrating the Culture We Create Together, an unforgettable evening showcasing the talent, creativity, and growth of our students. In hip-hop culture, a cypher is a circle where people come together to share, create, express themselves, and belong. This showcase goes beyond the cypher, highlighting how that spirit of creativity and connection extends into our school community and everyday lives.
You won't want to miss this amazing celebration of our students' creativity and talent! Thursday, December 10, 2026, at 6:00 PM
