Oct. 2nd Belt Graduation 5:30 PM
Join us for a time of celebration!  Each class level will do a short performance then we will award all students who passed the belt evaluations with their new rank.  This night will also serve as a “run through” for our Gopher Hill festival performance.  ALL students need to be in attendance … even if you didn’t test!  This is also the night of the Gopher Hill Festival street dance, which starts at 8:00PM.  We will be done in plenty of time for you to join the fun. Because our school is so close, you are welcome to leave your car in our parking lot and just walk over to the dance!

Oct. 3rd  Gopher Hill Festival
Every year we look forward to the festivities of the Gopher Hill Festival.  This year, we have started early in our preparations because we want this year’s show to top anything we’ve ever done in the past.  Every class is working on sections of our performance and when we put it all together, it’s sure to be amazing!!  Our exact performance time has not yet been announced, so stay connected through Facebook, the website and our text service so you know the plan! 

Gopher Hill Tees
We will be ordering T-shirts as well.  All students will need to purchase a shirt … parents and other family members may get shirts as well, but you are not required!  Be sure to get your shirt ordered by Wednesday, September 16th!  The price of the shirts will be $17.00.
