Culkin School News Blog

It has been a GREAT ’07-’08 school year. The school continues to grow from strength to strength.
 
I want to thank: My family, especially Denise, my wife; All our teachers, Nicki Bayhurst, Caterina Earle and Megan Howard; All our assistant teachers, Megan Moloney, Kate Bole, Denise Olive, Ed Parmalee, Tammy Larson, Jennifer Rittenhouse and Jen Smith; and all our student assistants.
 
And of course you, the parents and students.
 
I am looking forward to a break in Sligo, Ireland with my family beginning after my Dublin meeting tomorrow Sunday. I wish you all a summer that does have some rest in it, to “recharge the  battery”.
 
Please do sign up for all the shows we have and PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!!!!
 
In appreciation,
 
Seán

A HUGE thank you to Jenny Ramarui for holding meetings at Trinity in Bethesda for new dancers and parents in regards to ordering school costumes and learning about Feiseanna (Irish dance competitions). If you were unable to attend these meetings held prior to our Spring Break, please feel free to access the FAQ sheets that were put together to help guide you as much as possible.
 
Sean also handed out these FAQs at Hughes and St. Paul's, however if you missed them, please access them here or on our Frequently Asked Questions page! If you have any further questions, email Nicki at Nicki@culkinschool.com

The February 21st edition of the Montgomery Gazette features an article on the 10th Anniversary of the founding of the Culkin School.

However, there is one not-so-small error in the story -- to quote Mark Twain, "The report of my death was an exaggeration." As the Culkin School Family knows, Sean's mother is not deceased and is alive and well despite the reporter's "exaggeration."  You'll be able to see her (and joke about the article) at our upcoming shows this St. Patrick's season!
