On My Mind...
Family and Commitment!

There are many things I am thankful for, including you! Thank you for sharing your family with ours and allowing us to do what we love. The joyful look from a student when they realize "I got it!" or when they want "their" teacher is truly special. Gratitude can make one more alert and enthusiastic. Studies show kids who focus on daily gratitude have higher levels of determination, attentiveness, energy, and are more likely to help others. Count your many blessings and see what God has done!

Let's teach our children to stay the course. It isn't easy. My Morgan (17), Kayli (13), and Jon Clark (10) have all wanted to quit. I've loved and encouraged them to finish. I say, "Stick to something to amount to something." "Simply let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No,' 'No'..." (Matthew 5:33-37). When your child says, "Yes" to an activity, they need to see it through. Take time to enjoy your family this Thanksgiving, count your blessings, and talk about your family values.

Sincerely,

Vicki Michelle
School Director

Tiny Tots in our Community

Last week our adorable Tiny Tot twirlers trick-or-treated at Paradise Springs Retirement Center. The residents were thrilled to see their costumes. Afterwards, the girls visited with the residents and received a treat. It was a win - win!

Holiday Tea Party

Monday, November 24th from 1:30 - 3 pm is our Holiday Tea for 3 & up. We will focus on being thankful while making crafts, decorating cookies, eating lunch, and taking pictures. Dress your child in holiday attire and bring a new toy to donate for a family in need. Cost is $15 per girl.

Aerial Silks Show

You are invited to our upcoming Aerial Silks Show Tue, December 16th at 7 pm at VM. Admission is free, reception following. It will be exciting to see what the students (and instructor) have prepared. Students will have class as usual 4:30 - 6:30 pm. Thank you MaryAnne for your dedication to this wonderful program!

"Sweet Dreams" Recital 2015

Our staff is so excited! Costumes will be ordered over Christmas break, so register your child for the recital. Sweet Dreams are made of this. . .for every child to: know who Shirley Temple was (parents bring her movies home today), dance in a tutu, have a star in his or her life, have a best friend, and know Christ. Preschool students will have their own finale. Ensure your child is part of this special 16th recital celebration!

We've Got Spirit, How About You?

Ready - Set - Go! Order a personalized car decal or yard sign today. See our purple V-neck shirt with "bling" logo, and we can add your child's name on sleeve.
