I’m a special education teacher in Utah, and I see every day how hard our students work. When I learned that some of them couldn’t graduate or join certain activities because of their lunch debt, it broke my heart.

So, I decided to do something about it, using what I already had: a closet full of costumes and a love for dancing. I started posting dances on TikTok to raise money, and to my surprise, I raised more than enough to pay off my entire school’s lunch debt. Now, I’m still dancing in order to help other schools in my area do the same.
