Frazier after-school students
 take the ice at Aeros game

Frazier Elementary School's CASE after school program's hip hop group performed on the ice during intermission at a Houston Aeros game recently.  

CASE coordinator Susan Blue said she asked the hockey team if her students could perform at a game this year because she thought it would be great for the community to see the talent her students have. 

"The students did an outstanding job," she said. "I'm very proud of them and their teacher, Dana Thomas. They all worked so hard to get ready for the performance, and it paid off." 

The CASE students showed that same performance to their peers during a school pep rally recently. 

The CASE after school program offers a different enrichment activity each day of the week. Along side of hip hop dance, students also participate in art, computers, karate, photography, Homework Club, Game Time and recess every day. Thomas is the hip hop dance teacher, and Blue is the program director. 

"Our students are able to experience many things in CASE they would not otherwise have the opportunity to experience," Blue said. "The kids love CASE and often don't want to leave when it's time for them to go. Our program gives kids an enriching, fun and safe place to go every day after school."
