The Community in Schools program at Sparks Elementary took advantage of a huge give-away of costumes and dancewear for the benefit of the school's after-school dance program.

The Education Outreach program of the Houston Ballet hosted the event, the Graceful Givings Give-Away. Items in the event were donated by Georgie Girl Costumes, Leapin' Leotards and Robert & Lonnie's Dance Galaxy.

Elsy Martinez, the Community in Schools coordinator at Sparks, picked up several boxes of brightly colored items.
