Happy Canada Day everyone!

There are several things on my mind this summer.  Besides working with major concept artists to redesign parts of our program,  working with Noelle Belgrave (all of you starting at Max the Mutt will know her soon-  without her nothing functions)  to do the scheduling for September classes,  and suffering all the frustrations of trying to update our web pages (we are late going live!),  I’ve been thinking a lot about how to help those incoming students who aren’t used to deadlines, homework, and concentrating!

There was a great quote from Confucius on my Google page the other day.

“I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I understand.” The problem is how to guide people who don’t have the right habits into “doing.”

Please feel free to post any ideas you may have.

On the fun side we’ll be trying out a Friday “Meet and Greet” Pizza evening. Most studios require complete focus and silence, and people need a chance to meet each other and have a little social time.  Every Friday we’ll ask for a dollar or two and provide Pizza and drinks. Friday evening classes will begin a little later so you can make noise.
