Dear Friends,
We raised $9108 for Glenwood Elementary School!
Last Friday, we had the honor of leading a Stop Drop and Dance-a-thon FUNdraiser for Glenwood Elementary School!
A big shoutout goes out to the entire community, including the K-5 students, parents, and teachers/staff who ALL had a turn coming up on stage to lead a dance and show off their moves! All the kids also got churro donuts as part of the dance-a-thon celebration.
Thank you to Kristen Jentzen who helped to organize this event and make it a success!
I am extremely grateful for my backup dancers who overcame their fears and came on stage the entire time to help lead the dances and make sure no one fell off the stage =)
Thank you so much Sunny St. Germain, Keala Landry, Ashley Walter, Lisa Butcher and Kathy Brown for carving time out of your busy day to dance!

Mic DROP.
I saw that quote posted on Shaq's instagram page and instantly had to stop scrolling and write it down. I'm working on the less stress part, but I am in 100% agreement with everything else.
I hope this quote speaks to you as well, especially as we enter into Thanksgiving weekend.
Thank you for being people who make me happy!
Love,
Grace
