*NEW recipes EACH Trimester!!! Let your kids enjoy a school year full of flavors and fun with food!

Does your child LOVE to cook? Do you have a picky eater? This introductory-level food literacy program teaches simple cooking techniques, food origins, seasonal recipes, and kitchen safety while having hands-on fun! Students gain self-confidence and priceless life skills while reinforcing core academics. Each session brings a different themed syllabus. This class can accommodate nut allergies. Instructors are professionally trained classroom educators, chefs or nutritionists. Minimum of 10 required. *Cancellations after the first day of class are non-refundable. 

Brigette O'Brian, owner of Relevé Productions and Presbyterian School’s Performing Arts teacher, offers Dance Classes throughout the school year after school. Mrs. O'Brian offers foundational beginner dance classes and advanced classes for PK3 through Sixth grade in Ballet, Tap, and Jazz. The Winter/Spring Dance Classes start the week of January 11 and culminate at the Spring Dance Recital on Friday, April 16.

The Spring Dance Recital is an exciting opportunity for dancers across all levels to showcase what they've learned throughout the year on the big stage! Family and friends are welcome to join us for our show, Friday, April 16 at 6 pm in Grand Hall.  

** In addition to the class tuition, Ms. O'Brian also charges a recital fee of $185, plus your student's costume fee for the Spring Recital. The recital fee covers production and reception expenses, recital t-shirts, program books, professional recording of the show, professional headshots, trophies, and a pizza dinner on recital night. Each class has one costume for the show. If a child is enrolled in Level 4, 5, or Advanced classes and is enrolled in BOTH the ballet and the tap/jazz class, they will have two costumes. Costumes can range from $45-$80. 

***During Winter registration, we’ll enable the planned drop-in option through the end of February (Spring Trimester's registration will include the remainder of the school year dates for drop-in options). If you need childcare for your student before the week of January 10 when Dance begins—or after it ends, since the class concludes before the Spring Trimester is over—you’ll be able to sign up for planned drop-ins on those days.
