Allanah Priem
Thank you to everyone who
participated!! So much fun!
Over the next few months, there will be a flurry of information coming your way. We are
getting into our busy time! Everything from picture scheduling, recital information, parades,
PAC auditions, summer classes, etc. As a former dance/twirl and PAC Mom, I understand
that it can be overwhelming. I thought I’d share a few tips that I used to make sure my
daughter and I didn’t miss or forget anything:
 When the newsletter comes out (I personally found it helpful to print it out), sit down
with it and read through each article. If an event pertains to you, write it down in your
calendar or use your phone calendar as a reminder.
 Add [email protected] to your address book in your email. Doing this will
keep any emails we send out from hitting your spam folder so you don’t miss anything.
 Check for any postings on the office door or walls in the lobby - we will post lists, callouts for volunteers, etc. in these areas at times.
 Recital/competition time: To ensure you don’t forget anything when you’re packing,
make a detailed list of items you need to have with you. Down to bobby pins...check it
off as you pack it.
 If you have any questions, please feel free to stop in and ask our friendly office staff.
They are always helpful and are dance/twirl moms. ~ Connie
