RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS

During this precious holiday season, sometimes we can feel over-loaded and stressed.  The RDS family has come through once again in RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS -- those parents and dancers who take time out of their cramped schedules do go the extra-mile for others:

1.  A mother who is the manager of a store in RimRock Mall, ordered all the costumes for a complete class, got all the right sizes and gave the entire group her discount.  She saved the parents about $50 per costume.

2.  Two young students dedicated the last four years to collect money and new toys for "Toys 4 Tots."

3.  A mom who has four children is raising her newborn niece who was born this past weekend.  She also works full-time and she took the time to make homemade goodies for her children's dancing class.

4.  One of the RDS's Designated Mothers brought in latte's for all the Designated Mothers in her daughter's dancing class for a "just because."

5.  One of the Designated Mothers who couldn't be in class sent a wonderful substitute to help out, her husband.  He jumped right in and helped the boys in the class and took pictures.

6.  A group of moms takes turns by picking up four children from their various events in order to get them to class on time.

7.  A mother who is a registered dietician and who has children, made a complete heart-healthy meal for the husband of the RDS family who had heart surgery.

Thank you all for bringing the joy and comfort back into the Holiday Seasons.
