On My Mind . . . Sweet Dreams

What a blessing this school year has been. We began after Labor Day with some classes in jeopardy of cancelation. I stayed committed to classes with low enrollment and prayed the Lord would fill them for recital. Wow! He surely did.

Thank you for allowing me to teach your child. Feedback like this is what keeps me going: "You helped make it a wonderful time in our lives. Everyone should have you as their child's first teacher. God Bless You!!!" ~ Hope Faith's Mom (3 years & counting!)

Students are excited to perform in recital this Saturday. It is important you and your party stay for entire recital (about 1.5 hours). All children have worked hard and deserve to perform for a full house. Every family has made a commitment of time and finances to enjoy the show. We must teach our children to be a good audience by staying until the end. Thank you for your kindness and respect.

Sincerely,

Vicki Michelle
School Director
