We hope your child has settled in to his/her class(es) by now, but most importantly we hope they are enjoying them! Our biggest priority is that your child is finding value and learning in class, but having fun at the same time! Being a part of APA, we want your child to experience MORE than just great arts education. We don’t just teach kids to be great at the arts, we teach the arts to make great kids! Happy October!
Kringle Fundraiser: Order form is due Tuesday, October 1st. Franklin Pick Up – Thursday, October 17th 3pm-6pm and Oak Creek Pick up – Friday, October 18th 3pm-6pm. You must pick up from the location where you turned in your order form. Anyone that does not show up within the pickup times will be charged $10 to their account on file. If you do not pick up your food that night, your frozen food will not be good as we do not have a freezer on the premises. Profits from the fundraiser will be in your individual family account before October 15th.

DANCE SHOWCASE INFORMATION BELOW ——
2019 Winter Showcase Times: One thing our students look forward to every year is our dance Showcases! All of our classes perform on stage with their current dance class and will learn the routine during their scheduled dance class. Our Showcases are set for Saturday, December 14th at the South Milwaukee High School PAC. Our shows will be approx. one hour in length. We will be teaching our Winter dances starting at the end of October/beginning of November in class. Every class will have their own dance and costume and only perform in one show unless you are on a performance team.

SIBLINGS IN DIFFERENT SHOWCASE TIMES: Please remember it is very hard for us to get siblings to perform together. We run an enrollment report from families that register prior to June 15th and try to prioritize in the order that you register. If siblings perform in different shows, we will put a credit in your APA account for a value of 4 REGULAR tickets to deduct off your 12/15 tuition payment. If your students are not scheduled in the same Showcase, please email us at [email protected] with your students’ names. Because of South Milwaukee’s online ticket sales, we do not have capability to give free tickets on their site. You will still need to purchase these tickets on your own through South Milwaukee PAC.
