Many parents shared their gratitude to Ballet Folklorico for motivating their children to learn new dance steps, for modeling traditions, and for a culminating activity that filled their hearts. Our students gained an experience they will never forget and cherish throughout their life. We look forward to working with Green Room Theatre and impacting the lives of many children in our school.\" - Daniel Martinez, Ed.D. Principal, Roosevelt Elementary School\n\"I was introduced to GRTC many years ago and was most impressed by their providing students a means to experience a production from the onset to final performance. In addition, eager students were enriched by having the opportunity to hear from professional actors who shared their individual theatrical journeys. GRTC are leaders in our community in bringing charities together to better the lives of our children in the Valley.\" - Patti Gribow, Television and Film Producer/Entertainer/Host/Actress\n\"I have seen the excellent work of GRTC through some years of their support and interaction with Ophelia Project, a mentoring program for girls I created, serving 19 schools throughout this valley. It has always been my strong belief that the arts play a vital role in education and the positive development of our youth. GRTC provided many opportunities for the youth I have served through the past 18 years.\" - Susan Francis, Past President and Chief Executive Officer.",
