I want everybody to do a couple of things first everybody needs to participate in the ABA fundraiser which will help in raising funds to make the performance possible.  Every child should sell a minimum of 10 items with prizes going to the the top two sellers.

***VERY IMPORTANT***Saturday October 11 will be a parent meeting for the Nutcracker which will discuss everything you need to know for the Nutcracker.  If everyone will make the effort to attend you will receive all the information about the performance.  We will have two meetings one starting at 10 am and one at 1 pm.  We would like the parents from ballet 4, 5, 6, and 7 to come at the 10 am time.  The 1 pm time would be for the parents of the other ballet levels.  Of course if you can’t come at your assigned time you can come to the other meeting time.

I’m assuming all ballet students are participating unless you let me know.  Just email me if you are not asap.

October 27 the performance fee will be taken out $40 for single performer $55 for family, this fee will include a Nutcracker t-shirt.
