The summer of 2019 is off to an exciting start at Hermann Sons Life Camp. The season was ushered in with a thunderstorm on the first night but that didn’t stop the fun. The campers are having a great time as evidenced by all the smiling faces in these photos and the ones on Pages 16 and 17. Check back in August for more Camp photos.
Dance registration now under way SAN ANTONIO – Registration for the 2019-2020 dance year is under way. Junior members ages 3 to 17 who live in the area around one of the 30 Schools of Dance should be receiving a registration brochure in the mail. The brochure provides detailed instructions on how to access the registration process through Class Juggler. Parents should note that if they created an account to register a camper, they will not have to create a new account to register a dancer. They will have to use the dance password that is provided in the brochure. Parents who did not register a camper will need to create
an account by following the instructions in the brochure. The brochure includes a list of the 30 Schools of Dance. Any junior member who meets the age requirement and whose life insurance premiums and dues are current can register for an hour of instruction in any school of their choosing. The schools are under the direction of the instructor(s) and two parent liaisons. Other parents can become involved by volunteering in various capacities including serving as class monitors, working on fund-raising and helping with the recital.
Each school collects a registration fee that is determined by the individual schools and is used to offset the cost of the recital and other expenses. The Home Office collects a $50 assessment fee to help cover the cost of the instructors and other expenses. Classes will start after Sept. 1 and registration will remain open until Oct. 1. Rici Chaney, a former student and instructor in the San Antonio School of Dance, has been hired to coordinate the Dance Program for the Home Office. She can be reached at 800-234-4124, ext. 241 or 210-226-9261, ext. 241.
