Announcements

Thank you to everyone who is working so hard on our Nutcracker performance. These dancers are wonderful, and we are so excited to see them perform!

-------

Our Nutcracker Boutique will be on Saturday, December 6, in the parent room from 8:15 am to 12:15 pm. It will feature a variety of Nutcrackers, jewelry, ballet themed items and much more. This will also be the last opportunity to purchase roses or winter bouquets for pick up at the studio after the performances. There will NOT be additional flowers for purchase on performance dates.

-------

On December 14th, there will be a street faire. Several streets will be closed off, and parking will be very difficult. Leave extra early so you can get to class and the show on time. It is your responsibility to plan ahead. DO NOT BE LATE!

If you have been working on costuming or other volunteering that required spending, please make sure to turn in all receipts to your committee head by December 11th at the absoluter latest.
