Editor, Gazette-Journal:

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Debbie Diggs and her company, the Diggs School of Dance, for a magical evening of ballet and jazz performances. The stormy evening did not dampen anyone’s spirits, as the Mathews High School auditorium was packed. The night was a wonderful gift to everyone there!

Our group from the Mathews studio, instructed by Rachel Cross Morris, had worked diligently over the last year on their jazz and ballet dances. This dedication paid off as they danced their little hearts out with beautiful smiles on their faces. Each class or individual that performed delighted the audience with their enthusiasm and talent.

It would be impossible to thank each person involved in making the recital so special. A great deal of work went into the event and this is truly appreciated. Thanks, Miss Debbie, for all you do!
