Dancing Classroom Presentation Announcement

Dear Parents and Guardians,

This is a reminder that our ballroom dancing program ends on Wednesday, November 23---we will perform for you in the gym from 9:00-10:00.

Our kids are nervous and excited!  They have come an impressive distance!

It is usually a very crowded event, so please arrive a little early if you can.  We encourage (but do not require) students to dress "elegantly."  That could mean a skirt or dress for the ladies and a nice button-down shirt for the gentlemen.  Please don't make a special shopping trip for this event, though.

We sure hope you can come!

Mr. Hagstrom
