Dear grandparents, Juliana has been invited to be one of a handful of 5th graders who perform in the year-end dance show. She loves this program! She goes to dance rehearsal every Friday for two hours during the school year, and at the end of the year, will participate in a dance at a local theater showcasing the year's work. The program is free to all students, but the students fundraise to raise the money to put on this year-end show. She would love it if you would contribute - thank you! - Merete
