🌟 EVERY VOICE DESERVES A PLACE TO SHINE. 🌟
Today, we are incredibly excited to introduce the newest member of the SLYC family:
✨ SHINE ✨
SHINE is our brand-new inclusive and adaptive choir created to remove barriers to ensemble singing for neurodivergent students and students with cognitive, physical, or neurological disabilities.
And there’s no audition. 💛
SHINE is open to students in grades 6–12 and special education students through age 22. Through adaptive teaching strategies and individualized supports, singers with a wide range of abilities and needs will have the opportunity to meaningfully participate in a true choir experience.
Because choir should be about more than hitting the right notes.
It’s about making music. 🎶
Building friendships. 🫶
Playing, laughing, learning and growing together. 🌱
Finding your voice.
And knowing that your voice belongs.
Along the way, our SHINE singers will build musicianship and ensemble skills while discovering what it means to :
💛 Serve
🌟 Lead
✨ Spread Joy
🫶 Care
📅 Monday evenings
⏰ 5:30–6:30 PM
🎤 Grades 6–12 + special education students through age 22
✨ Non-auditioned
This is something we’ve dreamed about for a long time, and we cannot wait to welcome our very first SHINE singers into the SLYC family.
Because when we say there’s a place for your voice here…
We mean it. 🌟
