A Note from the Director

We hope everyone had a happy and healthy holiday season! The staff and I want to thank everyone for the nice cards and gifts. We really appreciate your kind gestures, but teaching all of you is our favorite gift of all!

Congratulations to everyone who participated in lots of fun events in December. Holiday Cabaret helped our school’s Relay For Life Team raise over $4000 by sharing what we love to do. Thanks to Make An Impression for donating a $300 Summer Study Scholarship to recipient Kylie Annas, to Edward Jones for donating two $100 scholarships to Katie LeRoy and Alex Polk, and to HSSOD Summer Study scholarship recipient, Brianna Steers! Way to go!

The Christmas Parade dancers were terrific! Check out beautiful candid photographs of the Holiday Cabaret and the parade at HSSOD.zenfolio.com. To everyone who performed, choreographed, volunteered, or supported a dancer this holiday season, I am very proud and thankful for all you do. Bravo!

Congratulations to all of the dancers cast in Carnival of the Animals! We are so proud of you!
Ms. Marilyn

A Great Cause...

Below is a link to a website that has beautiful headbands for our girls, friend / family girls, birthday's or just because gifts. They are only $8 each with free shipping and all the money goes to an awesome cause. Merck transferred Tim Potvin to Charlotte so his daughter Ellie (8 yo twin) could get care at CMC Charlotte for her rare childhood cancer. Tim is part of a very close knit Merck family and we are all looking for ways to support him and his family through these trying times. But... they need more support.

Please consider buying these headbands as they are for an excellent cause & oh so cute!!! Also, please pass this message along to anyone you know who might be interested. Ellie is battling stage 4 relapse cancer. They are an amazing family.

PS... I have to share some exciting news…

My dear friend Richard Dobbs (gifted artist) and I have been working on a Children’s book entitled “The Children Who Had Roses For Noses.” I wrote the book when I was pregnant with Skylar. My husband Chris and I had been told that she might have Downs Syndrom, but we made the choice not to do further testing and risk losing Skylar. When she was born perfectly healthy, we were thrilled but had a whole new sense of compassion for parents having children with special needs. I told Richard about the book and that I wondered if he would be interested in illustrating it. He shared with me that he has a sister with Downs Syndrom and would love to be a part of this.

The story is really about celebrating our uniqueness and unconditional love. You can check out our book at Lulu.com. We hope you like it!

Close Move

Do you have a way that you could support someone in our dance family? We can share acts of kindness in a variety of ways. During what has been a very difficult time for many families, here are some ways you might be able to help….

Offer to donate gently used shoes or leotards to share with others.
Pay it forward; offer to pay for a costume or one month’s tuition for a struggling family.
Organize a carpool to lesson the burden of transportation.
Volunteer your services (props construction, sewing, graphic design work, working at events) to help dancers organizing events.
Pledge to say something positive to every dancer you come in contact with for a whole week. Who knows, it just might become a habit and kindness is contagious!
Be creative! We’re open to any suggestions!

We work hard to reach out to our community, but we also want to take care of each other! Thanks for your help!
