service and being part of the community

One of our focuses is on service and helping as part of the community. I added a column in our 5 year breakthrough results plan to help keep this action forefront in my mind as all too often I get sidetracked into my own life, the studio's 'life' and those closest to su. It is something that will be consistently in our action plan.

One catapault for this was winning Rochester Hills's Community First award. We were honored to be nominated and to win. This is awarded in regards to presence and service in the community. I feel an extra push to make sure that we uphold the honor of winning this award.

Here's some of the things we plan to take actions to do this year as a community. As we grow larger I look forward to doing even more!

Tuition Assistance Program.

We're in the process of revamping this program. It will include an application and qualifications that are clear as to how to apply. Our goal is to offer tuition assistance to students that may not be able to afford lessons.


The Workplace

We'll be getting bday cards for our students from The Workplace. The Workplace provides jobs for adults that have been in a trauma or accident. They make beautiful cards.


Nursing Home Recitals

We're commited to going to various recitals in the area for 3-4 times through the rest of the year.

In March we attended Waltenwood in Rochester. The residents loved seeing the children and the children loved playing for them. At the end one sibling even did a couple magic tricks!

Fundraiser for our 1st Year Anniversary in May

We'll be having a fundraiser for God's Helping Hands in May. GHH provides food/clothing to Oakland County. This past year was an all-time high for families needing food/clothing. It's amazing amongst the prosperity in Michigan how many families are without the basics.

We hope that we're able to serve the community in new ways each month, year and years ahead.
