CALENDAR OF EVENTS 2010

2.  2010-2011 Season:   As of September 2010, we plan on reducing the amount of paper that we use for Newsletters or for other annoucements.  We are turning GREEN to be more environmentally friendly.  We will be asking for everyone's email address and that is how we will be communicating any news or events that will be happenning at MKDA.  Most papers that are given in class end up by staying in dancer's bags and parents often times do not see these important papers until many months later.  The ''MKDA E-Newsletters'' will prevent any miscommunication and the message will go directly to the parents or adult dancers.  

3.  2010-2011 DANCE SCHEDULE!  NOW POSTED!
**Please note changes to Elementary Ballet & Jazz 3**

4.
NEW SECRETARY!! We would like to give a warm welcome to Melissa Hall who will be our new secretary this year.   If you have any bill inquiries or general info inquiries, she will be able to assist you.  Melissa Hall will also be staying on as a teacher.  Thank you  Mrs. Hall!
