SHARP Program

Our Summer SHARP students know how to put on quite a show! From singing and dancing to hula hooping and everything in between, they truly lit up the room! We’re always so inspired to see our students shine and share their gifts with the world! Video Description: Students from the FBC Summer SHARP program perform a variety of talents in the gym. The video features clips of students singing into microphones, dancing energetically, hula hooping with excitement, and showcasing other fun and creative acts. Smiles, cheers, and applause can be seen and heard throughout, capturing a joyful and encouraging atmosphere.

There are still spots for models available!
