Empower Eastman Pep Team with New Uniforms

The Eastman Avenue Elementary School Pep Team is comprised of 70, 1st -5th grade students! The team includes cheer, dance, and drill team routines, which shows the diversity of the members’ skill sets! The team members started off with no prior drill team, cheer, or dance training; however, in the last years Eastman Pep Team, have received 1st place in the Boyle Heights Christmas Parade, 1st place at the Sharp International Drill Team Competition, and 3rd place at the East LA Christmas Parade. There is great pride and enthusiasm as they represent their school in community events.

Eastman is a Title 1 school that services a predominantly low income community. As a consequence, the uniforms, accessories (i.e. pompoms), application costs for parades, and cost of choreographer are not easily accessible. An added burden to our team has been the fact that our old uniform has been discontinued, so everything has to be brand new. We are asking for donations to buy uniforms for students unable to purchase it for themselves, cost of choreographer, accessories, and application fee for community events.

We really need your support .
