From Rhonda...

Hi all FFAM families. The recital is just 11 days, ELEVEN days away!!! WOW! Hard to believe we have already completed another year of dance. There are a lot of questions re: the recital that can be answered by referring to the blogspot (www.weareffamblogspot.com) or by referring to the sheet that Melissa Bliss put together re: last week of dance practices that you received last week. Please read those before asking any of the staff questions. We are getting a lot of duplicate questions that can be answered by looking back at the emails, blog spot or sheet we have already provided you with.

In addition, if you haven't already provided me w/ a picture of your child in their costume I need it sent to me via email or a hard copy ASAP so that the slide show can be completed this wknd. I will need the picture no later than this Thursday, May 2, in order for your child to be a part of the slide show. I don't want any child left out.

Yearbooks will be available to order through next Wednesday, May 8 (our last regularly scheduled classes). You may order one year book for $20 or 2 for $30. You will need to pay when you order them. They will not be available for pick up until after the dance recital. I will provide you with a pick up date when Kim Saltier (please thank her when you see her for taking pics throughout the year of your child for the yearbook) let's me know the date they will be available.

On the night of the rehearsal, May 9, 4:30pm, FFAM staff will be selling slices of pizza for $1 or a slice of pizza w/ chips and a drink combo for $2. Rehearsal night usually last from 4:30-7:30(ish). Your child is free to leave once they have completed their practice dance. The kids often get hungry around dinner time. We want to help you out by having something quick and available for them to have that night. All of the money made from this pizza sell will go directly to the dance ministry.

On the night of the recital, May 10, 6:30pm, FFAM staff will be selling long stem roses for $3 for one or $5 for three. If you want to purchase them for your little dancers, Christina Parcell will be at the front selling them. All of the money made from selling the roses will go directly to the dance ministry.

We have your child's FFAM Tshirts available. Pending your dance acct is up to date w/ us (you have paid all current dues), we will provide them to you this week w/ the number of tickets you have paid for. Please do not let your child wear the FFAM Tshirt until the night of the recital. They are considered a "costume" and should be treated the same.

 

Mrs. Karen Mims, Ms. Gabby's Mom, is going to be available this Thurs, May 2, to assist w/ any costume alterations you may have. She will be at the studio from 5:30-6:45pm.

I think that covers all of it!! LOL If I have forgotten something or you cannot find the answer you are looking for from prior emails, the blog spot or sheet from Melissa, please feel free to find a staff member (Rhonda, Melissa, Jenny or Carolyn) and we will gladly answer your questions.

I am SO LOOKING forward to our dance recital. I pray that it is a blessing to SO MANY!! If you have lost family members or friends that you have been praying for, this is a great opportunity to invite them to be blessed in a way they will never forget. It is in a non threatening environment and you never know how God will plan to use your invitation to a simple Christian Dance Recital to open the heart of your lost loved one.

Blessings,

Rhonda Surber, FFAM Dance Director
