It’s been a three-year hiatus since we put on our dancing shoes and raised a glass to the King Arts community, but last Friday was an extraordinary return! Thank you to everyone who worked to make the Inaugural Mustangs Sneaker Ball a great success!

People were leaving with smiles on their faces, new friends, and deeper connections among the network of care around our kids. We would also like to thank our host venue, Firehouse Grill, the King Arts Community members who attended, as well as the PTA Team that made this event possible. Thank you for giving your time and treasure.

If you weren’t able to attend last Friday, not to worry! The Mustangs Sneaker Ball will be an annual signature event – look for more information on the 2024 Sneaker Ball to come soon!

A photo gallery from this year’s event is available online.  If you have photos from the Ball that you would like included in the album, please email them to kingartspta@gmail.com.

Thank you again. King Arts is so blessed to have such engaged caregivers, teachers and staff. We are grateful for your dedication to promoting equity and helping us build a stronger, more inclusive community.
