SHIRLEY A. GALANTY--FOUNDER OF SYRENA
SYRENA'S GRADUATES

     Our Graduates, Our History!


                        In 1977, Mrs Shirley Galanty had a vision for an elegant, special evening for our
                    graduating seniors where they are present to society as our graduates. An evening
                    filled with special waltz, awards and memories makes a senior year that much more 
                   special! The first presentation ball was held in February of 1977 at St Bernard Seminary.


                       The year culminates with the dancer's offical graduation from the ensemble at the
                   completion of our annual recital. Since our inaugral year, we have presented and graduated
                    129 members of our group to society.

                       We are extemely proud of our history and look forward to continuing our mission of
                     teaching children about their heritage through song and dance.
