Notice about supervision of children & parking at the Church!
For Suzuki Parents who go to the UUC: Please remember that students of all ages should be with a parent at all times, and that the portico is not an area for hanging out. Elevator use should be restricted to people with strollers, or with a physical challenge that requires its use. And, parents should always ride the elevator with their child. This is for the safety of your children, as well as to make sure that we're being respectful of the other programming happening in a sacred space.
Please be mindful that you are parking legally in marked spaces at the church. One of our parents had a wreck last week, because there was not enough room to back out of a legal parking space.
Also Note that there will be NO GROUPS OR ORCHESTRA REHEARSALS at the Church the week of March 23-27. Classes and lessons at Hartt will be held as normal that week. Contact your teacher if you have any questions!
