Cypress Field Trip

We are so blessed with many life experiences and opportunities, that it is a blessing for us to share them with the Cypress St. community. I (Savana) sing in a band and put on a show for friends and family at Citrus College. My music director really believes in and supports this ministry and gave us and our students free admission to the concert. We decided to use this concert as a tool to bless the students and give them a break from their usual evening activities, as well as a reward for working so hard at our after school homework club. We picked them up in the shuttle and did not tell them our destination until they got there. Boy were they surprised! They had no idea I was in a rock band and felt so cool and privileged to be a part of the scene. The students were on their best behavior and so supportive of me and my music. We danced, sang, and cheered together all night. When the show was done we took them to get ice cream and just celebrate our evening together. I was so blessed by their presence and support. It was cool for my friends and band mates to share in this passion of mine and to get a glimpse of what I do with most of my time. It truly was an unforgettable night for all involved. Pictures soon to come!!!
