Shining Stars Network

Shining Stars Network A 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to shining a light on the special needs community through the performing arts! Due to the success of the show, Mrs.

Shining Stars Network is an expansion of the incredibly successful Shining Stars Talent Show – which was created by Sally Curci in 2012 to showcase the various talents of special needs students in Cranford, New Jersey. The annual two-hour variety show sells out the Cranford high school auditorium and is a testament to the power of inclusion. Special needs and non-special needs performers come toge

ther in a dazzling display of choreography and teamwork – a culmination of four months of rehearsals and amazing dedication from the students, parents and volunteer buddies from Cranford high school. Curci was awarded the prestigious Betty McGhee Award for her service to the special needs community by the Arc of Union County. Sally was also honored by the Cranford Board of Education for her service to the community. Shining Stars Network is committed to expounding upon the vision and success of the Shining Stars Talent Show not only locally, but nationally. Our website is putting the spotlight squarely on the special needs community through video features, sports highlights, feature articles, podcasts and much more. Our content not only features people with special needs but also content developed by people with special needs. Our site will also serve as a resource for parents and caregivers. In addition to media content, Shining Stars Network is working at the community level to develop events and experiences that bring the special needs community together and are inclusive to special needs and non-special needs alike. Shining Stars Network is a place where everyone can feel at home. We sincerely look forward to sharing many amazing stories and experiences with you. Thank you for joining us on this incredible journey!
