❤️ Valentine’s Dance Update ❤️

Due to the weather and to allow time for proper planning, we are rescheduling the Valentine’s Dance from February 6th to February 13th.

We understand that this change may create a conflict for some families. If your family has already signed up and can no longer attend, please contact the Inquiry Office by Friday, February 6th, and we will be happy to issue a refund. ❤️

We will also extend sign-ups for the new date until February 9th. Please note that all dance money must be turned in by Monday, February 9th at 2:00 PM. No exceptions will be made, as this deadline allows our caterer enough time to purchase supplies.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support! We look forward to having a great time together! 💕
