Greetings to both new and returning Joyful Twirler Families!! It's hard to believe that September is already here! With September, comes the start of school and the start of the Joyful Twirlers' 16th season! WOW! We are excited about the upcoming season and are looking forward to a lot of new changes. We have some new uniforms ordered for some of our classes, a brand new t-shirt to reveal for EVERYONE, and new classes and class times! There are 5 classes scheduled to begin on Monday, September 12th. Each class will begin with an approximately 15-minute parent/twirler orientation. With whatever time remains, we will let the girls get acquainted and start practicing! I will be sending each of you a private e-mail confirming your daughter's class and class time to avoid any confusion. If you are new to the Joyful Twirlers, we do permit parents to sit and watch practices if you would like to do that. Parents of children who are three-years-old are required to stay. However, we prefer that other siblings not be present in the practice room as that can be a distraction. We do have a lobby that is available for parents and family members to sit and wait during class as well. We currently have openings in our Tiny Twirler and Beginner classes. These classes are for girls ages 3-10. I am attaching a flyer that I would encourage you to print/share with your child's school, church, family and friends. If you would like several copies, I would be happy to have them printed for you. We would love to have a few more girls in each of these two classes and would appreciate your assistance in helping us "spread the word"!
Also, we have a new e-mail account. I was having too many problems with the Verizon account after we moved last spring so, for now at least, I will be using this one for Joyful Twirler correspondence. Please make sure to make the changes in your e-mail contacts as well.
Finally, I am still waiting for registration forms for a few of our returning twirlers. These forms need to be completed and turned in prior to the first practice. You are welcome to fill one out when you arrive on the 12th, but doing so before hand will assist us in being able to better prepare for the orientation. Also, please remember that all accounts must be paid in full from previous seasons prior to registering for this one. If you are in need of financial assistance or a payment plan, please call me and we can work something out.
I hope you all had a wonderful summer. I am looking forward to seeing you all soon! If you have any questions prior to the 12th, please do not hesitate to call, text or e-mail me. My cell is 412-759-7487.
Here's the new promotional flyer: 2016-2017 Flyer
