Oh the Weather!
We’ve been on a weather roller coaster these last few weeks, haven’t we? I hope you have been able to stay warm and dry with electricity, internet and cable, and not get blown away! Hopefully, we will not need to use it again this winter, but please tune into Channel 9, Channel 5, WCPO.com or WLWT.com for weather closings. We don’t email or call for weather closings, but in the case of illness or other emergency cancellation, we will email and/or call to give rehearsal and class status updates. Please make sure your email address and preferred phone numbers are in our registration system. |
