Dance with Ms. Harrison
I would like to say, "Bravo" to a wonderful job / performance from Grades K-5, during the Winter Performance! The students, truly, "S.O.A.R 'd" to the occasion, and I couldn't be more pleased with them.
When we return in January, we will continue to build our movement vocabulary and begin creating our "Word Wall!" This will be an ongoing project to help ensure that each dancer is understanding and mastering dance terminology and the techniques associated with the instructed lessons. I can't wait to begin and add this to our dance space!
I would like to wish each and every family a wonderfully blessed holiday, and a happy new year!
Peace & Love,
Mrs. Harrison

I anticipate scores coming back in a few weeks, hopefully by the end of January. I will forward all individual score reports when I receive them.
