COSTUME AND COMPETITIVE TEAM FUNDRAISING
FEES:
The Parents’ Association fundraises money
toward costumes.
This is to help provide beautiful outfits for all performers at their
various preshows and events throughout the year. It saves many parents
approx. $100 per costume to participate in fundraising! The Parents’
Association asks for a Fundraising Commitment to sell chocolate bars or
a costume rental fee cheque at registration if you choose not to
participate in fundraising.
For
Competitive Team dancers, a special Fundraising Fee is required. Please
see your EDPA reps at Registration for the information.
Please contact the EDPA regarding
any questions you have about costumes, fundraising, etc. Every child is
required to pay a costume fee or participate in fundraising, in order to
dance in the recitals, as the show and the costumes are a crucial part
of their year’s work and culminating activity. There are many other
exciting and enjoyable ways to become involved in the Parent’s
Association, thereby enriching and being active in your child’s dance
education! If you have a special talent, skill or area of interest,
please contact the EDPA at registration or call the studio at 631-9087.
