First of all, I know this is a last minute crunch. My apologies, I've been out and quite sick for a while. Sunny still wanted to go for it with this activity and I'm so happy to support it, time crunch and all! We've got this! :) Please just know that the sign up process needs to happen this week (by Friday 7/3). Thanks for your understanding! ~RCSunny Martinson is back with another fun baton twirling class! She is offering
level 1 for new twirlers and level 2 for returning twirlers (who she taught last summer).
Would your kids like to learn how to twirl a baton (or learn more)?
We are going to do a one week class for kids, again!
Kids who participate will have the *option* to join the Labor Day Parade in Post Mills, marching and twirling with Sunny!
There will be a couple of practice days later in the summer to prepare for the parade.
Tentative parade practice days will be: Aug 22-23 (times tbd).Baton twirling is a fun activity that develops coordination and teamwork! Once you learn some techniques, you can spend the rest of the summer practicing your new tricks outside!

measuring at home and email Sunny with the measurements (stat). We will be purchasing batons and you will get to keep your baton. The cost of a baton is included in the sign-up fee. Return kids should bring their baton and will not be paying for a new one. Please email details to:
sunny.martinson@gmail.comSunny will be at
Latham Library on Thursday 7/2 from 6pm-7pm to measure new joiners for a new baton. We will order the baton using your sign-up fee $.
If you can't make it to Latham Library, please follow these instructions below and email Sunny with your measurement notes ASAP (by the end of this week 7/3 so batons get here in time).

name as well so we know who the baton is for.
