Good evening!

We hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine and these beautiful summer days! It’s hard to believe that school is right around the corner—and so is the return to CJT practice.

Practice will resume on Saturday, August 16, 2025:

Beginners: 9:00 – 10:00 AM
Advanced Beginners (Music): 10:00 – 11:00 AM
Intermediates: 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM
Seniors: 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM

We will need a few kids for the Velika Gospa procession on August 17 at the Croatian Center. Please let us know if your child is available to help.

Our Parent Meeting will be held on Saturday, August 23 at 9:30 AM. We’re looking forward to seeing everyone!

One World Day will take place on Sunday, August 24. This is a great community event, and we’re asking everyone to come out, show your support, and wear your red and white checkered t-shirts! We received a grant from the City of Cleveland and want to demonstrate strong participation. Please help spread the word—more info will be shared as we get closer to the event.

There will be no practice on Saturday, August 30 due to Labor Day weekend. Safe travels to everyone heading out of town!

The Ad Book email will be sent out separately. The submission deadline is September 5, 2025. This includes write-ups for graduating seniors.

Our kids will be performing at the Captains game on Saturday, September 6, 2025. All participating children will receive a free ticket, and the performance will be 10–12 minutes long, just before the game begins (later in the day). Our group will receive $8 back per ticket, making this a great fundraiser. Please let us know if your child(ren) will participate. We’ll share more details soon—feel free to spread the word to family and friends!

Concert Weekend is scheduled for October 17–18. Please mark your calendars. More information will be shared at the parent meeting.

If you have any questions, please let us know.

Thank you!
