Some reminders for the months leading up to our end of school year the first week in June:

*

*

1. Our Spring Recital will be held on Monday night, May 18 at First Baptist Church of Pompano Beach. I will send out a flyer soon.

*

2. Our 2nd Non-Lesson week will take place Tuesday-Monday, May 5-11. A close family member is having surgery and Mr. P and I will be flying to North Carolina to care for them and their children.

However, I will host Zoom performance classes on select days and times that week. I will send information about those dates and times. With three options to choose from, all students should be able to participate.
