October 2014 News

Welcome to Cozy October the month of leg warmers, wrap sweaters and slippers!!!First Month of Classes in the Bank

• Thanks to everyone for the most amazing first month of classes in the history of Dance On It Studios.  Thanks to all the parents who came out to the info meetings and got the lowdown on how things work at our fabulous studio.
• We have put clocks up outside the studio now to help you get your children to class on time.  We are such a social group it is easy to get lost in chatting and totally forget you are here for your child’s dance class so we are hoping more clocks around will help you remember.
• Congratulations to ALL the students who tried out for parts in the Nutcracker this year.  Just going to an audition takes courage and confidence and we are so proud of everyone who attended.  We want to extend a special congratulations to Eden Lockhart, Ella and Sophie Beauchesne, Joanna Brehaut and Sophia Haug for making it into the Nutcracker this year! 83 students auditioned for only 36 parts, so this is indeed an accomplishment! We know you will shine God’s light in all rehearsals and performances.
• Please note there are no classes on Saturday October 11th and Monday October 13th for the Thanksgiving weekend.

Bring a Friend to Class Week – Saturday October 5th to Friday October 10thThis is a great chance for you to bring friends that would be interested in joining our studio or just joining you in one of your awesome dance classes.  Please make sure your friend is age and ability appropriate for the class that you are bringing them too and if you have any questions please contact your teacher.

Thrifty Foods Smile Card FundraiserFor the past two years Thrifty foods has donated $3500 to our school through their smile card program.  How it works is you get a smile card from us and before the cashier rings through your grocery order you load your smile card using cash or credit card.  Once your grocery bill is complete the cashier deducts the value of your bill from the smile card leaving you with a credit if the cost is lower than the balance.  It costs you nothing but we gain 5% of everything you spend using your smile card.  If you do not have a card yet please contact me and I will make arrangements to get you one.  You may also ask grandparents or other friends and family to participate.  This year Thrifty’s has upped our total to $2500.  We will be handing these cards out to everyone who needs them at our first parents meeting.
