EL CENTRO, Calif. (KYMA) – Central Union High School District (CUHSD) says Alynn Alvarado, a student at Central Union High School, created an inclusive dance for Extensive Support Needs (ESN) students and their families.
According to a press release, the dance, called “A Night with the Stars,” took place last month at the schools’s multi-purpose room, and was created as part of Alvarado’s ASB project after CUHSD says she was inspired by a recent United PE Olympics.
“I wanted to create something that hadn’t been done before at our school, something that our ESN students and their families could enjoy,” said Alynn Alvarado. “I chose something for ESN students because they’re not as involved in school activities since they are more within their classroom. I wanted to let them and their parents have a night to themselves.”

While Alvarado led the planning and coordination for the dance, CUHSD says she had some help from some of her peers, which includes United PE student leaders, who helped with setting up and bringing the event to life.
“Alynn has been an outstanding leader planning several activities partnering our ASB students with ESN teachers and classes,” said Mrs. Sara McFadden, Central Union High School ASB Advisor. “She organized arts and crafts, coordinated having ESN students as part of senator meetings, and talked to the teachers to find out how we can partner our classes. I am very proud of the work she put into organizing this event.”
