Hi there, my name is Petra and I am a freshman at Duke Ellington School of the Arts in the vocal department. I’ve loved my experiences at Duke so far! It brings all kids who are passionate about the arts, like me together. The performing arts have been my passion since I was little, and to be going to a school where I can do that is incredible. I recently joined show choir. We sing, dance, and act. I’m very excited about joining. It is everything I love all in one choir. We even plan to go on a South African tour!  However, the tour is expensive and we need your help raising money. Unfortunately, DCPS doesn’t fund the arts programs at school. You’re donation will really help me and my choir do what we’ve been practicing for. Thank you so much for whatever you can give. Every little penny counts!
