November Newsletter

Important Notice All Parents:   Please be informed that the week of November 13th thru the 17th will be mandatory classes for parents and students.  We will discuss costume information and get measurements of each student for the costume.  You will know the exact price of each costume as well as what the costumes look like.  Please take the 15 minutes at the beginning your child’s class to meet in the dance room to discuss costumes and any further questions.   Costume Payments November Costume Installments will be $25.  If you do not wish to pay on an installment plan the total balance will be due before the winter break (December 22nd).  Costumes will not be ordered for those students whose payments are not received before December 22nd.  No Costumes will be ordered after this date. Water Bottles in Class Attention: Gymnast & Dancers you may and are encouraged to bring a water bottle with you to all classes.  This will help with traffic through both dance rooms and will not disturb either class.   Please do not fill your personal water bottles with the water provided for the waiting room. Studio Hours The studio will be closed for Thanksgiving Break: Saturday November 18th through Sunday November 26th.  Classes will resume Monday November 27th. Fundraising If anyone wants to raise money for personal costume payments, there are a few options:    “Armetta’s Hoagies” See Miss Amanda for Hoagie tickets How it works: 1.) You get the ticket for $2.50 from Miss Amanda. (you don’t have to pay until you sell your tickets by 12/23) 2.) You sell them for $3.50 to your family, friends, neighbors, co-workers etc.   3.) You make $1 off of every ticket that you sell.   (Sell 40 tickets make $40!) No making hoagies or delivering. All you have to do is sell the tickets and the purchaser of the ticket gets the hoagie when they want!
