MHSB has a quarterly newsletter, pointe of view, with information updates about MHSB. (Holidays, Comings and Goings etc) 

In August of 2003 we first introduced the MHSB Handbook.  Our handbook was created to provide a complete, comprehensive, and easy-to-read outline of how the school operates.  There is a section entitled Specific Details.  This section includes a month by month breakdown of class changes and/or special events occurring during that specific month.

The MHSB handbook is designed to help our students and their families keep their dance lives organized.  If you would rather own the paper version, please contact the studio and we can send you one at a cost of $7, or feel free to print out your own!
