⚾️🏟️🇺🇸Three JIA students recently had the incredible opportunity to join Kindergarten/1st Grade teacher Mrs. Faasse’s nonprofit organization, Opera for ALL, in singing the national anthem at a Detroit Tigers game. Mrs. Faasse and Opera for ALL have been invited to perform the national anthem for the past five seasons, and this year, these JIA students asked if they could join in the experience.
Together with their families, John, Odyn, and Will traveled to Detroit and became part of a 53-member choir that performed at Comerica Park before the Tigers took on the New York Yankees. The students had the chance to share their voices on a major league stage while creating memories that will last a lifetime (and the Tigers beat the Yankees, too).
This was a special opportunity to celebrate student confidence, creativity, and community beyond the classroom. We are so proud of John, Odyn, Will, and Mrs. Faasse for sharing their voices and representing JIA in such a meaningful way! 🐾✨🎶
