Also, the Sea Horse Fitness Center's pool has a broken pump! Sadness! BUT THERE IS GOOD NEWS! Since we won't have swim today, we get to swim next Wednesday AND Friday (March 7&9) to make up for the missed lesson. I will also be calling each swim parent personally in about 45 minutes!

Good news, Bad news....

 OH man, today is SUPPOSED to be our first day of ballet......but......The teacher is sick! So, that means an extra class has be added on AND kids still get to come to ballet today with me and have some fun.
 How qualified am I? At SUNY purchase, not only was I in the music conservatory 2004-2008, but I wrote for dancers AND collaborated with dancers 2006-2008. I'm super exicted to get the kids dressed and get them ready for another great semester with the Alvin Ailey Dance Company!
 Also, for tomorrow's half day, grades 2nd and up will be in Central Park 12pm-1:30pm. We will be running sports in the park, so please let us know if you'd like your child to NOT go to the park.
