[KWPTA] (UPDATE) Barrett Family Dance Party 2019

Barrett community,

I am writing to remind you about the Barrett Family Dance Party this coming Friday. The event will run from 6:30 - 8:30 pm. Do not forget that we will have lots of food for you to buy that night, a live DJ and several raffles going on too. You cannot miss this event. 

This year to raise awareness for the dance I recorded students and teachers freestyling to different dances that I later dubbed real music over. 

However due to copyright infringement these videos were pulled from the Project Interaction Youtube Channel. In anticipation of issues like this I created my own Youtube Channel where I would not run into these types of issues. The name of my channel is KWB Familias if you chose to follow it.  

Please do me a huge favor and show these two videos to your children.The first link only features a compilation of students dancing to promote the dance and the second video features some of our beloved Barrett staff dancing their hearts out.

Link to school homepage where student can practice their grade levels choreographed dances: 



I would also like to give a huge shout out to those staff members who either contributed or participated in this project.

The Choreography Team: Coach, Coach K and Mr. Whitelaw
 


Featured Dancers: Coach, Mrs. Aiken, Ms. Krieger, Mrs. Settles, Mrs. Chambers, Ms. Doherty, Ms. Crawford, Mr. Porter, Mrs. Siso and Ms. Cunningham 

Original link with Ms. Aiken and Coach can be found here as these two videos were not featured in the extended cut of the staff video. 


Lastly, I want to give Diana Bustamante a special shout out since we both worked together to put these commercials together for everyone to see. 

Thank you all for your time and hope to see you all out this coming Friday. Luckily the weather has always been on our side all these years. 

Sincerely,
Arturo Ramirez

Comunidad de Barrett,

Les escribo para recordarles acerca de la fiesta de baile familiar de Barrett este viernes. El evento sera de 6:30 a 8:30 p.m. No se les olvide que tendremos mucha comida para que compre esa noche, un DJ en vivo y varias rifas también. No puedes perderte este evento.

Este año, para crear emoción sobre el baile, grabé a estudiantes y profesores baliando diferentes bailes.

Aquí están los links para que puedan ver los videos.

También me gustaría dar un gran saludo a los miembros del personal que contribuyeron o participaron en este proyecto.

Enlace original con la Sra. Aiken y Coach se pueden encontrar aquí ya que estos dos videos no se presentaron en el corte extendido del personal de video.


Por último, quiero dar un grito especial a Diana Bustamante, ya que ambos trabajamos juntos para hacer estos anuncios juntos para que todos puedan verlos.

Gracias a todos por su tiempo y espero verlos todo este próximo viernes. Por suerte, el clima siempre ha estado de nuestro lado durante todos estos años.

Sinceramente

The biggest dance party of the year is days away, and I wanted to make sure that everyone was invited.
