See you soon! + REGISTRATION IS OPEN / À bientôt! + L'INSCRIPTION EST OUVERTE

Wow! We can’t believe the fall term is already over! Thanks to our new hybrid format, we have been creating on a rotation from the studio or tuning in from home. It’s been great using the studio production options and we’ve had a lot of fun together creating in CML, animation, production and community challenges, afterschool clubs, to hanging out during Friday Night Social Club and even at our hybrid gala!. We’re also astonished at how our community came together this fall to show their support at this screening and hot dog event -thanks to all of you, we raised $68,100!
