2014 Parent Watch Week - Food Drive

Wow- We broke our record!! 171 items were donated this week for the Wellington Food Bank. Our record was 156 items donated in November 2012.

Our dance families have gone above and beyond this year! WOW- WOW- WOW. Thank you for making our Parent Watch Week a HUGE SUCCESS! 

What is parent watch week? It's a great chance for dance families to come to the studio and watch their dancers during a regular class. We like to use this opportunity to raise awareness of the Wellington Food Bank and the need in the community. Admission to watch class is a donation to the Food Bank. We hold this Parent Watch Week/Food Bank Week twice a year - once in the Fall and again in the Spring.

November 2014 Updates

We are cruising right into November and we have a busy couple of Months ahead of us. 

Next week, Nov. 10-14: Parent Watch Week/Wellington Food Bank Week. During watch week parents/grandparents are invited to come watch classes as the learn/work on their Christmas routines - Admission is a donation (Food or $) to the Wellington Food Bank. Space in the lobby is very limited and any talking or movement is very distracting to the dancers and the teacher. Thank you in advance for coming and enjoying our FUN week. 

Holiday Schedule:
Studio Closed: Nov. 26 & 27 Thanksgiving Break
Studio Closed: Dec. 22- Jan 2: Christmas Break
 

Christmas/Holiday Performance: Dec. 6. @ Wellington Holiday Open House (Memorial Auditorium)  Afternoon Time frame- TBA. 
As mentioned in a previous email- our classes have the option to perform at this new event, and we've started working on the dances this week!  If your dancer will not be able to perform (which is fine!) please let Michelle or your teacher know, so we can plan accordingly. We will send out more information on the songs next week. There are no costumes to buy, or extra expenses with this performance. It will be a fun day and Santa will be there! 

Tuition Fees and Costume Fees:  Please remember that Tuition Fees are due by Nov. 15 to avoid late charges. 
Costumes fees are also due- half now and half in December. You dancer's Full Costume payment must be paid by Dec. 15. We cannot order a costume if you fee is not paid. 

Costume Orders and Measurements:
We will take dancer's measurement in Dec. during class time and will place the orders over Christmas Break. If you have any NEW dancers that want to join- get them to join now so we guarantee their costume will be ordered with the rest of the class! Late costume orders may have additional shipping/rush charges, or may not be available in time! Thank you! 

Stay Up-to-Date: 
I'm attaching the link to our google calendar. 
(You should be able to link the specific repeating events- classes to your mobile calendar!) 

THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING! 
Please let me know if your dancer is unable to perform at the Holiday Open house Dec. 6. Thanks!
