🎉 Thank You, Sedona — The Community Jubilee Was Pure Magic! What an incredible day at Posse Grounds!
From the bottom of our hearts THANK YOU to everyone who came out, enjoyed the festivities, bought concessions supporting the youth, and donated to support youth scholarships in the arts. Together, we raised $555 for young Sedonans to pursue their creative dreams. That's community in action. 🙏
For me (Jean For Sedona City Council), it was such a joyous sight to see Sedonans of all ages from 2 to 90 enjoying a community celebration together, and if you missed the ballet lesson with all ages from toddlers to seniors participating, it was one of the sweetest sights I’ve seen all year.
🩰 A standing ovation for Jessica Phillips of Sedona Dance Academy (https://www.sedonadanceacademy.org), who brought the gift of ballet to our event, both through a beautiful lesson and through her students' stunning, generous solo performances. If you haven't seen what these young dancers can do, you're missing out. Check out SDA and enroll your kids!
