Our Clothing Drive for the Children of St. Johnsbury, VT

A message from Leslie & Kevin’s (the owners) daughter, Shannon…      

My name is Shannon Redmon. I am currently working as a teacher in St. Johnsbury, VT where 75% of the students live under the poverty line. The students’ families do not have the means to provide their children with many of their basic needs. Many of the kids come to school wearing the same clothes every day and are especially unprepared for the cold months of winter. I’m asking you to help these kids by donating new or gently used clothing. The school I work at has grades Pre K-8, so any clothes that would fit a child in that range would be able to be used. I know that these kids would greatly appreciate any help that you could give.

 A list of possible donations:

Pants

T-shirts

Long-sleeved shirts

Sweaters

Sweatshirts

Socks (new)

Underwear (new)

Jackets

Mittens

Hats

Snow pants

Deadline for the collection is February  21, 2014

Leslie has started practicing her dance routines for the Spring Show

Our Spring Showcase is scheduled for Sunday, March 16, 2014 from 4-8 PM at Rafael’s in Walpole, MA.

Kevin and I have started practicing our routines for this event.  Kevin will be dancing with Kim for one routine and another on with me.  I am dancing with Jan for my second performance for the showcase.  For the first time in my dance career, I know the steps pretty well at this point  which means we can start working on the drama of each dance.  As all my fans know, I rarely perform serious dance routines.  The reason I can’t be serious on the floor is because dancing is so much fun for me.  It is my escape from the outside world.  It is always interesting to me to learn new steps and then make them fun.  I have been known to make my dance partners laugh so much that they have to stop dancing and walk away to regroup before dancing with me again.  I am excited to perform both of my showcase and I hope that everyone can attend this Savaria Dance Studio Event!!!  Please see our web site for more information.  Keep warm!!!
