Our goal is to educate students to have a deep knowledge of Science (Biosmart), to be proficient in the Spanish and English languages (Dual Language Immersion), to develop a global perspective and gain understanding and appreciation of other cultures.

      Help us raise $8000.

       We want to bring Dancing Classrooms, a local nonprofit  to Wellstone 5th graders.

      The students will learn the Latin dances Merengue and Rumba, and the ballroom dances Foxtrot, Waltz and Swing. They will also learn some fun line dances. Equally important will be their social learning, as this program emphasizes that dance is a way of making and sharing connections.

      The cost per classroom is $2,000.  The money raised will go straight to funding this program for all four of our fifth grade classrooms at Wellstone.  Each class will get a 10 week, 20-lesson residency.
