1. The Jungle Jam (our show for all children in the Tumbling Tigers program (ages 2-5) as well as the Junior Hot Shots) will be here before you know it! It will be Saturday, March 10th. Registration forms will be handed out this week in class or you can click on this link to download it yourself. You only have until January 27th to order the leotard if you choose to purchase it. It so cute! Be sure to check it out and try on a size to order. This is a different leotard company than usual. Even if you are not participating in the Jungle Jam you can order the leotard. The deadline to register to be in the show is February 10th.

This Week at Spirits (Week 1 of this Session)

Sun, 4 Dec 2011 23:40:24 -0600

1. This is Week 1 of Session III.

2. Session III is a total of 10 weeks long, but the gym is closed for 2 weeks, so we will only have 8 classes. You are only being charged for the 8 classes. There are no classes from Wednesday, December 21-Tuesday, January 3. We have some great camps over break, so be sure to check the schedule below.

3. Our new word of the month is Acceptance. The definition of acceptance for your youngest students is: It's ok to be different! It is my personal belief that knowing it's ok to be different is key to a person's self-esteem. Once we learn that is ok to be different and it's not a bad thing we can love ourselves just the way we are and stop trying to be something we are not. This is so important for children. Attached is a copy of Dear Dr. Robyn for your reading pleasure.

4. Our lunch bunches are this week. Thursday, December 8 from 11-12:30 pm and Friday, December 9 from 11:30-1:00 pm. We have a special offer for December...you can bring a friend for FREE to lunch bunch. You and your friend just need to be signed up by this Wednesday, December 7th at 6pm. The kids need to bring their own lunch to eat and then they will do a craft, read a book, play games and have open gym time. The kids will have an amazing time. Lunch bunch is open to all children potty-trained through kindergarten. Plan to attend and bring a friend! We can't wait to see you there!

7. As the weather has turned colder and kids have much more clothes to store we need to send out a quick reminder about the cubbies. The lobby cubbies are reserved for the following students: Tumbling Tigers, JHS, HS, Boys and Busy Bodies. All other students should use the upstairs cubbies please. We know our lobby area can get a little crowded and we need the floor space for people to stand and not clothes and shoes on the floor. We would really appreciate your help with this.
