Addie had an incredible time in Scotland! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
✨

Her trip included stops at Musselburgh, Perth Highland Games and Stirling Highland Games, where she even got to meet up with our other dancers who were competing on their day off from performances in Scotland!

She finished her trip at the City of Edinburgh Competition, taking home 1st Overall in the Intermediate category! 🏆

We couldn’t be more thankful for our lovely Dana Gamache Smith and all her hard work preparing Addie. What an incredible trip filled with dancing, new experiences and so many memories. We’re so proud of you, Addie! ✨

At the beginning of the month, Amelia, Jasper, and Taylor had the incredible opportunity to travel to Halifax to perform as part of the Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo Highland Dance Team! 🇨🇦

Throughout the week, they took part in five unforgettable Tattoo performances, sharing their love of Highland dance while making memories and friendships with other dancers from all over the the world.

We're so proud of the hard work, dedication, and enthusiasm that each of you brought to this experience.

We can’t wait for see where dance takes you next! 👯‍♀️

Sharing the below story of one of our SBJ Dancers. Way to go Louise!

KINDNESS KNOWS NO AGE

We are sharing an inspiring story about our youngest donor. Meet Louise, the granddaughter of our dedicated long-time Auxiliary volunteer, Kathy Smart. At just 8 years old, Louise has shown remarkable generosity and has made a significant impact on our community.

For her recent birthday, she chose to request money instead of gifts, with the intention of donating half of the total amount received. Louise chose the West Lincoln Memorial Auxiliary. She used half of her birthday gifts along with some of her own savings and donated $200 to our Auxiliary! This isn’t her first contribution, as we recall her kind gesture last year when she donated $150.

It’s inspiring to see such a young person take the initiative to support others, and it serves as a reminder that no one is ever too young to make a difference in their community.
Her selflessness and dedication to helping others at such a young age are truly commendable. Louise serves as a wonderful reminder that kindness knows no age.

From Dance exams to the bright lights of Vegas!🌟

Several of our dancers were nominated through their SDTA exams in April to take part in the SDTA North American Scholarship. This is a full-day event honouring J.L McKenzie and Elspeth Strathern, which includes a written theory paper, a master class, a tribute to J.L. McKenzie dance, and an optional choreography section.
�This year, Myelle and Sydney represented our studio, joining dancers from across North America to challenge themselves, connect, and celebrate Highland dance at its best. Their passion and professionalism on and off the floor were a joy to watch💙

We’re also so proud of our teacher Madelyn, who sat her Membership Highland exam. We wish her the best of luck as she furthers her dance knowledge and teaching journey!
