Hello, everyone! I hope you enjoyed your 4th of July break!
Just a reminder, we have our Aubree's fundraiser coming up on Tuesday, July 9th, 5:00PM-8:00PM. The event applies to the $15 buffet meal, and Summer Enrichment gets $5 from each one. All proceeds go directly back to the program.
Please note that you must have a physical flyer in order to participate in the donation. We passed these out last Tuesday, and I am including one attached below.
Thank you!

Hello, families,
Just a couple of quick reminders for this week!
1. If your middle or high school student is getting an elementary t-shirt, please remember that money is due tomorrow: Tuesday, June 2nd.
2. NO PROGRAM on Wednesday, July 3rd and Thursday, July 4th.
Here are our previous reminders from last week:
Please note that it is important to let your student’s teachers know about scheduled absences. If they need to miss some time due to illness or emergency, this is no problem! But if they will be absent for an extended period of time for camp, vacation, etc., having advance notice helps our staff prepare activities accordingly.
Our Penny Drive Fundraiser is ongoing! If you're unfamiliar with the mechanics, here are some details:
What it is: The Penny Drive competition between Elementary and Mid-High is a fantastic fundraiser for the program! We are a nonprofit organization, so all fundraiser proceeds are used specifically for program funding! If your student has spare coins or cash to bring in, encourage them to do so. Perhaps you can even talk them into doing some chores to earn more ;-)
How it works: We will have one collection for Elementary, and one collection for Mid-High. Donated pennies will be counted as "positive" points towards the session in which they are enrolled. However, any silver (nickels, dimes, quarters, half dollars, etc.) or cash can be used to put into the opposing session's collection to make their points NEGATIVE!
Our current frontrunner: Elementary!
Our Aubree’s fundraiser will be on Tuesday, July 9th 5:00-8:00PM. In order to participate, a physical fundraiser flyer must be given to your wait staff the day/time of the event (these will be handed and emailed out when we get closer.) For every $15 buffet meal ordered when you present your flyer, $5 will go back to the program!
Our annual Tricky Tray fundraiser will take place on performance nights. We collect various donated items between $5 and $10 from families to raffle at the end of each performance night. We will be searching for parents to help with asking for donations from local businesses (most businesses have worked with us in the past and look forward to participating). Please let us know if you’d be interested in lending a hand in this task.
If you would like to volunteer in any way, please let us know! We are asking for parents to help visit businesses in the South Lyon Area, and sell Tricky Tray tickets on performance nights. We would love and appreciate any help you are able to provide, and your dedication contributes to the longevity of our program!
If you know of any additional fundraising opportunities, please let us know!

Hello families, I have had a few parents ask me about whether we do Themed Thursdays for Mid-High. We have not done so in the past, but I think this would be a great summer to start! Our themes will be as follows (these will be different than elementary):
Monday, July 1st - Group Mascot Day
Thursday, July 11th - Celebrity Day
Thursday, July 18th - Opposite & Crazy Hair Day
Thursday, July 25th - College Pride & Hat Day
Thank you!
