Snow Closings

As a reminder, if we need to close due to snow an email will be sent out within one hour of class time. We often start classes for the day but need to close by the evening. Decisions to close are often made mid-evening if there is no snow on the ground at the beginning of our day. We will also post all closings on our facebook page so if you haven't "liked" us be sure to do so!

You are entitled to a make up class if we close due to weather. You may choose the class make up time from our schedule. Company members are excused from class if we close but can choose to make it up if they wish.

Special THANKS to all the parents who came to visit us during PARENT

OBSERVATION WEEK! We love having your support and encouragement!

Wishing everyone a month of LOVE & HUGS
