To Live!

Ashley McGlothren • February 23, 2024

Welcome to Year 9!

I can't believe we are about to enter our ninth year of business! We are crazy excited! Each year, we pick a new theme. That theme is reflected in the shirts we design, songs we choose, and Bible devotions that we have with our students. Our past year themes were:

Creation
Stand
We Have This Hope
Reach
The Race
For Such a Time as This
The Elements
Thy Word

And now, our ninth year will be "TO LIVE!" It comes from Philippians 1:21. The Scripture reads "For me to live is Christ and to die is gain." This year is a pivotal year in my personal life. My oldest child will be a Senior! Many of you have watched Laney grow up in the studio. I am so proud of the young woman she has become. I find myself thinking about what things do I want her to know during her last year of homeschooling - how to manage a bank account, cooking skills, driving skills... But more than any of that, I want her to know God will guide her. I want both of my children to put God first in all their decisions. I want them to know that we are living for more than what you see on this earth, but for our eternal home in Heaven.

I want them to make the most of their time here! To really live! I do my best to be an example to them. Besides taking time to read my Bible, go to church, and seek God, I try to have experiences! From riding rollercoasters I'm scared of to swimming with dolphins! I don't know about you, but I don't want to have any regrets when this life is over. I want to say "I lived," and I want my children to be able to say the same thing.

I hope this year's theme encourages you to pursue Christ. I also hope it reminds you to really LIVE your life!

How Registration Works

By Ashley McGlothren • March 2, 2026

We have been having a great 10 th year! I cannot believe it is almost registration for summer and fall! Here is how our registration works: - Current students will receive registration forms in the middle of this month. Turn it in and during the week of Easter, our office manager will contact you to schedule your registration appointment. - New families can call or email us ( shannon@soarcreativearts.com ) beginning March 30 th to request a registration appointment. We will get your name, phone number, and some information on the student. We will also call these families during Easter week to schedule the registration appointment. -Registration appointments begin April 14 th . We schedule these by how long the family has been at Soar. These appointments are 20 minutes and we focus on the family to make sure we get them registered for any summer or fall classes they are wanting to take. -We open up online registration on April 22 nd for anyone that didn’t schedule a registration appointment. -At the appointment, be prepared to tell us what class (including the day and time you are choosing) they are enrolling in. You will need to pay any that apply: summer classes, registration fee for fall, and/or fall art material fee. We can’t hold anyone’s spot without payment. - You can view our summer classes at https://www.soarcreativearts.com/summer-2026 -Our fall dance, tumbling, and art classes are also listed on the website. Recommendation – Classes fill up quickly. I would not wait to register for fall as we can’t guarantee there will be openings. The only exception is those auditioning for competition. They don’t need to do a registration appointment unless they are taking summer classes or fall art. We are looking forward to year 11!!!
