Letter
from Parent: Abby, Thank
you for planting this seed (three years ago)! She has been
researching this and looking forward to it for such a long time.
It’s hard to believe that it has finally happened!
Just
the audition process last week would have been well worth the wait, but
for her to be accepted is truly a huge step forward for her (do you see
the faculty list)!!! It is also proof positive that what she has
been learning for the past 13-1/2 years from you works beyond the walls
of RDP! Slow
and steady wins the race! Christine
Ice
CONGRATULATIONS
TO ONE IN 100
OUT OF THOUSANDS OF HOPEFULS!
JESSICA ICE
