Studio News:  Parents please make sure that you have received and read the Student/Parent Handbook.  We have made several policy changes this year and want to keep you up to date. You will also find a calendar included in the handbook.

• Please make sure your dancer’s name is on every clothing and shoe item, to help prevent lost items.

• We have a tuition payment mailbox! To better help serve you, we now have a payment box in the office in the case that Miss Sasha is not available.  Please place your payment in the payment box, please make sure you payment reflects who and what the payment is for. Please remember that unless you have made prior arrangements with the office all tuition is due on the 1^st of each month and is late if received after the 10^th of each month. All late accounts will be charged a $15 late fee. We do not send out monthly billing statements; please mark your calendars accordingly. We are in the process of adding Pay-Pal onto our website and will be able to accept credit card and debit payments in this manner.

• If you are having troubles finding dancewear for you child, please be sure to grab a “Curtain Call for Class” flier in the studio. They wonderful customer service and free shipping and handling!

• Please not that costume payments are due paid in full by Dec. 1^st. We recommend taking your total costume balance and making it in 3 payments; Oct 1^st, Nov 1^st and Dec. 1st

We would like to announce Celebration Street’s “Shine Dance Company” for 2007/2008: Elizabeth Denny, Tyler Minnis, Nasina Ellis, Alex Martinez, Haylee Bowman, Terrin Misfeldt, Kayla Johnson, Mikayla Hajek, Emily Swanson, Breanne Woodward, & Ashley Vian.   The “Shine Dance Company” is Celebration Street’s resident outreach and performance group. Company members frequently perform through out the community and also volunteer their time with such groups as The Mercy Foundation and Festival of Trees.

Cookbook Fundraiser: We are creating a Celebration Street cookbook to raise money for our Company dancers.  This will help with workshop training sessions for the dancers and instructors, along with our outreach performances. ANY C-Street student can submit their favorite recipe(s) and have your name printed right under it.  We are hoping to have them printed in time for Christmas, so submit your recipe(s) now!!  Each student can send as many as you like, but not all will be printed in case of duplicates.  We will make sure that every student gets at least 1 recipe in the cookbook.

Be on the lookout for more information coming soon on our annual “Bring a Friend to Class Day” coming in October!

We’re Smart, We’re Strong …..And We Love to Dance!!
