We had a great time on Saturday at our second annual Family Appreciation Day.  More than 300 people came and enjoyed hotdogs, cotton candy, snowcones, nachos and more in the sunshine.  We are so glad that you joined us!

We have a little video clip from last night's Girl's Night Out.  A lot of  the girls knew the song "Love Story" by Taylor Swift so during the talent show, we all sang it together! 

There is a great story about Simply Music on a Los Angeles TV station.  The story is posted on Youtube and the link is here:   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hhihH_UCp8
