A special message for Marissa:
Marissa,
Looking back, it feels like just yesterday when you and Kenzie were backstage, getting ready to perform your very first duet "Here Comes the Sun" at the competition. Now, you're all grown up, driving yourself to college in the fall. It's amazing to think about all the memories we've shared in room A. I can never express enough how much love and gratitude I have for you, and how proud I am of the dedication and loyalty you've shown to our studio over the years. Whether it's been tough days or great days, your love for everyone and for dance has always shone through. I can't wait to see you continue to grow and succeed. Remember, no matter where life takes you, you'll always be a part of our neon green family. This isn't goodbye, it's just a "see you later." We still have so much more to do together, especially during recital season and nationals. Let's keep shining on that starpower stage! Love you, Rizz!
To Tanya and Mark, I can't thank you enough for all the support you've given to my family and our studio over the years. Thank you for trusting me with your girls and allowing me to help them reach their full potential. You've raised such wonderful, hardworking young ladies that we all cherish and love. Thank you for everything!
