Every year during the fall, dance and cheer come together to sell poinsettias as a fundraiser. From outfits to trips and new equipment, selling poinsettias is one of many fundraisers that take place, and many people look forward to this tradition of the holiday season.

“Christmas is my favorite time of the year and the poinsettias are very beautiful and each person has to pay $75 of fundraiser money as profit and that goes into buying music and for competition,” junior, Esmeralda Garcia said.

Poinsettias are widely know for being the flower of Christmas Eve in many cultural traditions. Not only will it but a person in the holidays spirit but along the way will also benefit our dancers and program. Small poinsettias are $7 and large ones are $12.

“Some of the money goes into our dance accounts and the other goes into the music and stuff we need for dance,” senior, Deyaneira Cortes said.

Poinsettias are available for purchase up until the Nov. 30.
