Dear Staff,

It is that time of year again!  CDFY is starting the selection process for our Safety Kids, Show Me Players, and UPLIFT for the 2022-23 school year!


*Elementary Schools(Safety Kids), Please provide the names of two current 4th-grade students that WILL be in 5th grade next year that you would like to recommend as your Safety Kids performers.  
*Middle Schools (Show-Me Players/UPLIFT), Please provide the names of two current 6th graders that WILL be in 7th grade next year that you would like to recommend as your Show Me Players performers, and two current 8th-grade students that WILL be in 9th grade next year that you would like to recommend as your UPLIFT performers.

We ask you to inquire with teachers to assist in choosing one boy and one girl that are the best students to represent your school! However, if you have more boys or more girls, please just let us know, we are flexible.

*Please remember that it is important to select students that have a family support system that can deliver them to rehearsals during late JULY and early AUGUST before school starts AND then again to Itsy Bitsy Broadway Theater prior to tour dates throughout the year.
If the family members have any questions you cannot answer, please have them contact us.


If you have any additional questions regarding the selection process, please feel free to call or email.

Thank you so much for your support of our Safety Kids, Show Me Players and UPLIFT Program, and Council for Drug Free Youth. We look forward to hearing from you soon!

Your school nomination is Due by May 2nd. We want to make sure that we have enough time to contact parents with further information.
