KEYWORDS:
We are nearing the end of this year, and entering into a time of year where all hearts should be humbled and full of love and excitement that we made it through one more year. We are blessed to be healthy and in our right minds. Even if everything is not just as we want it to be, we should be grateful. Let us all plan on making next year an even better year than this one. I think the students have done a wonderful job in their classes, and I hope they are looking forward to putting on a great recital in June. May heaven’s light that flooded the hills of Bethlehem

DANCE FEES, COSTUME FEES & RECITAL FEES
All dance fees, costume fees and recital fees should be paid up to date for the first half of the dance year on December 17, 2011. Any fees paid will go toward lessons, before any costume fees are recorded. Also, if you think you need to change your child/children costumes sizes, or check the size you wrote on their size form, please do so immediately. We use the sizes you recorded on the size forms to order costumes.
CANDY PROJECT
I am sorry that I have been unable to give you a profit total on the candy project, but we have just recently just surpassed our $2,800.00 order amount. Now we are working on the profit we hope to receive with the reports that are still out. This was not supposed to be a three month project. Let’s get busy and clear this up very soon.
FYI
For those interested in credit card payments, please let me know as soon as possible. I believe this method of payment would be beneficial to many of you. I am still looking for news for our Kid’s Korner section of the newsletter.
KID’S KORNER
“CONGRATULATONS”!!! TO YAHZMINE JACKSON Meta Jackson-Wells. We salute her for a job well done.
DANCE QUOTE
“Each Rockette performs the exact same moves to achieve uniformity, and choreography cues are very specific. We talk about what angle your shoulders should be, where your cheekbones turn--if you tilt your head, or keep your eyes downstage—and even where your pinky finger is. It’s just that detailed. There are lines and numbers in a grid on the floor, and you have to pay attention to the depths and travels. You have to be exact.” -- Kristin Altfather, Radio City

THE BRIGHT, GLAD SEASON
The bright glad season comes again, the happy time of kindly thought,
The time of sweet remembering old friends and new the years have brought.
The giving time! The loving time! The time of songs and caroling,
When sleigh bells ring across the snow, and hearts grow warm remembering.
The time of children’s eager eyes, of whisperings and hidden things;
There’s something thrilling in the air for all the joy the season brings.
The spicy smells! The tang and taste! The glowing colors children love!
And in our hearts the grateful thanks, for every blessing from above.
Oh, always love should rule the breast, and kindliness should banish fear,
Not only when December comes, but every day, and now, and here.
