NUYWE Rehearsal, Parent Meeting

Hi families!

Rehearsal tomorrow, 9:30-10:30. Thanks for arriving early so we can start on time! Remember to practice at home. 

We have our Parent and Member Meeting at 11. Please, please, please come to that! So many questions will be answered and you'll get all the info for the retreat day camp in a month.

You'll have the best opportunity to pay tuition at the parent meeting, so come prepared with cash or check. We are also set up to pay online, which you can do at any point on our website. We'll have grocery cards there if you'd like to stock up - basically a gift card that donates a percentage to us. 

Anna Lyman's delicious butter braids fundraiser ends tomorrow. If you're interested, click this link. They're $18 each. 

See you tomorrow!
