August 2014

Hello, my wonderful friends!  I feel like it’s been to long since we’ve seen each other.  I’m excited for TaVaci to start and all the wonderful additions happening this fall.

This Thursday will be our first class of the 2014-2015 year.  We have A LOT of super fun music to teach you.  I really shouldn’t say this yet, but, this music may be my favorite.  I know, I know, I say that EVERY year.  But, this time it just might be true.

We are excited to welcome Rachel Shumway to our TaVaci family.  Rae and I have known each other for years and her sweet angel Lacey has been singing with us since birth (almost).  Rae will be teaching the Loganville classes.  You are going to love her!!!

Because we have TWO Locations I will try and keep the newsletter clear.  But, if you EVER have any questions PLEASE feel free to shoot me and e-mail.

Tuition/Newsletters

Your child will bring home a tuition statement the last class of each month.  Please look at it.  Tuition is due the first class of each month.  Tuition is $35/month.  However, in October I add in the prop fee.  And, in November I add in the performance fee.

I have had people ask me in the past why December is a full tuition month when we only have one class.  The reason is: I have divided the “semester fee” into monthly payments.  I really try to keep our costs reasonable for families.

I have many families that like to pay their tuition in a lump sum.  I’m totally fine with that.  But, give me a minute to solidify the prop cost.

I will post a newsletter to the TaVaci blog: spotlightkids.blogspot.com  as well as to our Facebook page: facebook.com/GATAVACI  the last week of each month.  This newsletter serves to let you know what we’re up to in class as well as anything you should be aware of. 

Friends

Now is the perfect time to invite a friend to TaVaci.  Bring them along.  They will love it too.  If any of your friends decides to join us, we would like to buy you a TaVaci T-shirt as a Thank You gift.
