Dear Parents,

As we head into March we have a very busy month in front of us. We have our second Observation Week of the year coming up and all of our teachers and students are looking forward to inviting parents into our classrooms to share the exciting work taking place.  We are also working towards the many performances that will take place over the next months. Please view our calendar of events to see everything that is going on!

We are very excited to share that14 RD students have been accepted into the Professional Division Summer Session following the auditions in January. Two students have also been accepted into the summer program to audition for the full time Teacher Training Program.

Karissa Bowden has received the Investors Group Scholarship for Manitoba, and Daniel Borrett has received the Professional Division Summer Session Scholarship! Congratulations to all who took part in the auditions and workshops. I am sure you all had a very positive experience!

Warm Regards,

Nicole Egeland

We are excited to open our classrooms for parent observation from March 16-22, 2013. Please be mindful that all outdoor footwear must be removed before entering the studios and all cell phones must be turned off.  If you are moving from one class to another before one class finishes, please situate yourself closer to the door to avoid class disruption.

Please be aware that observation week coincides with the 5678 Showtime Convention and Competition weekend and some students and staff will be attending the Convention during Observation week.
