Final Week 2020!

Hello everyone!

I can’t believe it’s the 6th week already. The Program always flies by, but it has seemed even faster being online. I wanted to take the time to thank you all for your patience and flexibility this summer. It has been so fantastic to have this level of participation, and we appreciate you! We hope your students enjoy their unique “collector’s item" t-shirts this summer with the “Online” logo :-) 

Our last day doing meetings is Thursday the 30th! The video will follow next week, and Tricky Tray will run for a week after the program ends. 

TRICKY TRAY

The Tricky Tray fundraiser page is live! You can access it via this link or by texting Tricky20 to (406) 302-5086. Please note that the ticket sales portion is not yet live, as the website is currently confirming our payment processing information. 

The fundraiser will last until August 7th!

T-SHIRTS

If you were unable to pick your t-shirts up during the scheduled dates earlier this week, please email Jenny Cort as soon as possible to set up an alternate arrangement!

PERFORMANCE VIDEO

Reminder that footage for all Shorts is due tomorrow, Monday 7/27 at 7PM. Footage for all Specials (sign, dance, music) and Skits is due Friday 7/31 at 5PM. Please be considerate of these dates, as a few of our staff are volunteering their time to edit everything together! You are, of course, more than welcome to turn things in early. But please be advised that in this event, staff may ask for a few touch-ups as we continue rehearsing and finalizing details throughout the week. 

We plan to have our video premiere on Monday 8/3 at 7:00PM. If this changes, I will email with further updates. Please turn your video footage into our Drop-off Drive. Also please note that Ms. Hannah has uploaded an audio file to that drive of the piano part that accompanies your students’ music footage, and Mr. Ethan and Ms. Miranda have included themselves doing the sign language and dances for your practice purposes. 

As of right now, I am planning to put together a DVD of this year’s video! There will be a fee for this, serving to both reimburse my personal expenses for the project and to give some money back to the Program. I will email you with more details after the final video premiere and you can decide at that time if it’s something you might be interested in!

Lastly, I am including an interactive PDF at the bottom of this email of this summer’s Playbill. This will accompany the video to help you follow along as you watch!

SCHEDULE

The schedule will be significantly different this week, as is to be expected with the home stretch of the program. Please follow the Tockify calendar closely! I am including screenshots of this week’s schedule and our detailed practice schedule for skit time as well.

Hello, families! ANNOUNCEMENTS Please read this week’s announcements and review the new “Important Dates” section! T-SHIRTS T-Shirts are officially ready! Jenny Cort will be holding no-contact pick-up at her house (garage) on Tuesday 7/21 and Wednesday 7/22 from 3PM-7PM. You may also bring Tricky Tray items to drop off at this time! Address:  (Provided via email) Please email me here or text me (please give me your last name in the text) at 734-730-4441 when you have completed your pickup.  If you need to make alternate arrangements for pickup, please email Jenny at admin@slsummerenrichment.org.  TRICKY TRAY Please help with our Tricky Tray fundraiser! We are a nonprofit organization, which means we use registration fees and fundraisers to directly fund the program. Fundraisers, especially, are integral to our ability to continue operations.  Our Program Coordinator, Jenny Cort, will be heading up this project. Here is a message from her:  Hello everyone! Even though we’re virtual, we’re going to be doing our annual Tricky Tray fundraiser! It’ll be an online raffle with no contact prize pick up. More details will be sent soon but for right now, we’re looking for raffle donations.  As in previous years, we’re asking for new items $10 and below for any age level or interest. If you’d like to donate or have friends and family that would like to donate, you can send/drop off prize items at 434 West Lake Street in South Lyon. Please plan to drop off items during t-shirt pickups ;-)  VIRTUAL PERFORMANCES

We will continue working on our virtual skits this week! Please note that we will be asking students to turn in completed footage for a few of their shows (their “Short” skits) this coming Friday, 7/24, by 5:00PM. More instructions to follow on how/where to turn in the footage. I’ve included the Order of Events page from our virtual playbill below to help you determine which shows fall into this category! This week, students will be expected to report to their assigned practice rooms during skit time. You can find these details in their personalized script folders on the Google Drive.  If they are confused or forget, we will still have staff in the Stage classroom to help direct them to the correct place!
