Summer Kaleidoscope

Welcome back! Time to shift gears after vacations, fun family trips and action-packed summer camps.  Event calendar promises to provide us with many performance opportunities this year. This week, one can use extra time for adjustments, getting used to early alarm clock surprises and perfecting after school activity calendar for upcoming school year.
