High School Graduation and SAB Workshop Approaching

March 31, 2012 by Nina 7 Comments

The end of the year is fast approaching. When it comes to dance, everything seems to be moving along well for Julian. His foot seems to have healed up, although I’m not there to speak to anyone. The physical therapist says after spring break he need only come back once a week, and he has […]
