Dear Parents
We have officially begun Scale Olympics in the beginning band. Ask your child about it and what goals they have set. Expect a few sad faces from today and yesterday’s pass-offs. Please help me reassure them that it is normal to start slow and then it will start to get easier. It does get better.
