I hope everyone had a great Spring Break last week!

Lil' Drama: We missed Jaiden yesterday! Costumes are NEEDED next week. Some characters have quick changes.. and we only have a few more Fridays to work on those. Props also need to be brought in. What I have made for my sisters is their own "Drama tote." It includes their costumes and all the props they need for their plays. The bag stays in the car that way we will always have it for rehearsals. If you need to know what exactly your child needs to bring.. please look at previous posts.

Older Drama: We missed quite a few people yesterday! Instead of rehearsing, the students worked on their own skits! COSTUMES and PROPS are needed next Friday. They were due in yesterday. If you need to know what those are, please look at previous posts. Costumes and props are to be brought in and used in rehearsals for the remaining Fridays. Also, no scripts in class! Please continue to practice those at home.

TKD: I hope you guys are liking your new forms! We are learning the 5 Tenets of Tae Kwon Do. Each week we will learn a new tenet. These need to be memorized for our next testing. This past Friday's tenet was Courtesy. It means respect for Tae Kwon Do, your instructors, your class mates, as well as the building we learn in. Please review this with your child(ren).

PHOTOS

Our class photo day is April 25th

Mary King, a homeschool student, will be the photographer. She is out looking for experience and this is a perfect opportunity!

The charge will be $5 per student, per class [If a students is in drama and tkd, the charge would be $10]. This includes individuals and groups. Drama students need to be dressed in their costumes, TKD students in your uniforms.

Mary will send me all her pictures and I will post them either on e-mail or on the blog. That way all you have to do is save the ones you want!

I do not need to have a head count.. but I beg that all students be present on this day. If your child(ren) plan on having pictures done, the $5 must be presented at the time of photos.

If you have ANY questions, please e-mail!

I will post reminders closer to the date.

Drama: Spring Performance

The date: Friday, May 9th 2008

Location: AAL Church

Time: During the end of the year program after classes that day... exact time TBA.

This is our only scheduled performance as of now. If you would like us to perform at your church or another location you know of, please let me know so I can run the date by the other students.

Tuition Facts

Every week I have receipts for the previous weeks payments - Please come pick them up. I try to send them with the students, but they either forget or I see them in the folders the next week so it would be great if parents could run by and pick them up for me. (This also helps me make sure we are both on the same page with payments.. ) Thanks!
