December 2025 Monthly Memo
Can you believe it’s already December? It seems like our Dance Season just started! The studio is buzzing with excitement for our first studio-wide performance of the season- Our Winter Showcase Fundraiser! Click that link to make sure you have all the information you need.
Our mission at SDA is Empowering Students and Community Through Dance and this month our focus is on Empowering Through Collective Cause! Working together, we can each make a small contribution that can make a big difference. We encourage volunteering, participation, and engagement with the community 💜
Watch for our Collective Cause worksheet this month. Have your dancer complete the worksheet and bring it to the office for a chance to pick a prize out of our treasure box!
The Dance Season Continues!
December 6th the studio is closed for regular classes - we’ll be at Newberg High School for our Winter Showcases! We then continue for one more week of class December 8th-13th for Gratitude Week. We are closed December 15th-January 1st. We resume classes on Friday, January 2nd. All enrollments continue through June 2026, when we have our Recital on June 13th. No need to do anything unless you want to make a change in your enrollment!
Inclement Weather Policy & Closures:
SDA follows the Sherwood School District (in Washington County) weather related closures. If SSD is closed due to weather, so are we. If SSD has a late start due to weather, studio classes starting before 12pm will be cancelled. You will be contacted by email or text message if class is cancelled.
Closures could also happen because of other unforeseen events, such as wildfires and power outages that make holding class at the studio impossible or unsafe.
Skate for SDA!
Just mention "SDA Fundraiser" at the front counter, and 50% of your admission will be donated directly to the Rose Scholarship Fund.
