Skill of the Month: Safety Drills

Make-up Policy Reminders:

Tuition is not pro-rated for absences. Therefore, offering a make-up is a courtesy we extend to you. Students are eligible to make-up one class within 30 days as long as tuition and fees are up-to-date. Make-ups are held on Saturdays and sign-ups are required. Spaces are limited and not guaranteed. They may not be "saved up" and taken as a free class at a later time. A scheduled make-up will be counted if we are not notified 24 hours in advance that you are canceling. If you know your child will miss, please make arrangements ahead of time to make it up.

Make-ups are not held for classes that meet 1 1/2 hours or more per week. This has been factored into your class tuition rate.

Our Cartwheel-A-Thon and Parents Night Out Fundraisers for Lisa Pelton were a huge success!

Thank you for your participation in Sonshine's efforts to offer comfort and support to the Pelton family.

Congratulations to our Cartwheel-A-Thon winners.

Most cartwheels completed:

     1. Maddie Davies- 96
     2. Lydia Delp- 93

Most donations collected:

     1. Emma Duffany- $525.00

Lisa Pelton is currently battling Lyme disease. Before the illness, she was working at Sonshine in the office and as a Stars Team coach. The illness has progressed and she is no longer able to work and is dependent on others for her care. Finding treatment is very difficult, and most treatments are paid "out of pocket".

To show our support, Sonshine hosted fundraisers in which all money raised was given to Lisa and her family to help with their on-going medical expenses.
