    UPDATE | September

    Posted in: DFO, News, Parents, Performances


    We need your help. As you already know, the Department of Dance and Movement is responsible for selling about 40 tickets to the benefit performance of Thoroughly Modern Millie on September 24. This gala event is the kick-off to DSA’s 20th anniversary celebration, and an important school wide fundraising effort. Your participation, buying tickets and attending the event or selling tickets, is critical for the evening to be successful. Please contact Kim Daniels for tickets or additional information.

    Tomorrow, September 2, is Back to School Night at DSA. Schedules will be available at 5:20 p.m., there will be a sneak peak of Thoroughly Modern Millie in the Schomp Theatre at 5:30, and classroom visits will begin at 6:00.

    Please join us for our first DFO Meeting this year on September 14 from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. in Room D102.

    Volunteering…

    Posted in: Announcements, DFO, Parents

    Volunteering is the most important way you can help the DFO and the Department of Dance and Movement. Keeping our shows and other events fully staffed depends greatly on your help. The schedule of volunteer opportunities (nearly 150 of them!) for the 2010/2011 school year is on our Volunteer Page. Please visit and sign-up, as the saying goes: early and often. Getting signed-up now means you have the best selection of jobs, and including your email when signing up ensures you will automatically get a reminder. THANK YOU!
