Green Magnet Academy

Huge thanks to our librarian, Mr. Mason, for making this dream of his become a reality for our students. Our fifth grade filmmakers have made us all incredibly proud! 🎥🎞️🎬📽️

We are so grateful for this partnership and all involved in making it happen.💚

💚🐝 WHAT’S THE BUZZ: GREEN MAGNET ACADEMY ✨

There’s something extra special about this one. 💚

Back in 2018, Green Magnet Academy became one of the very first schools to believe in the vision of RYDE Outreach—and years later, seeing these dancers continue to grow, shine, and thrive means everything. 👏✨

From confidence and creativity to teamwork and self-expression, our dancers lit up the floor and reminded us why this work matters so much.

Accessible and affordable arts opportunities during after-school hours matter. 💜

When dance is brought directly into schools and community spaces, more children have the opportunity to participate, discover their gifts, build confidence, develop discipline, and experience the joy of movement—regardless of transportation, financial barriers, or prior experience.

Programs like this help create:
✨ Safe spaces after school
✨ Positive peer connections
✨ Creative expression
✨ Confidence and leadership development
✨ Greater access to the arts for ALL children

🌟 Special Thank You to Ms. Alexius for your leadership, dedication, and the love you pour into our dancers each week. Your impact continues to shine through every child you serve. 💜

We are also grateful for the continued support of:
💚 Green Magnet Academy
💚 United Way of Greater Knoxville
💚 Community School Coordinators
💚 East Tennessee Foundation
💚 Colquitt Foundation

✨ This is more than dance…
It’s growth.
It’s connection.
It’s community.
It’s opportunity.
It’s legacy. 👑

💚 Green Magnet… you didn’t just perform… YOU SHINED. ✨

Cheesy goodness! 🧀🧀🧀
