- I Practice.. I Believe.. I Achieve -- Nationals Tee-Shirts, 07:35:43 06/26/08 Thu
Thanks for your enthusiasm around the Team Inishfree Nationals Tee-Shirts! For those of you that received shirts last night, please double check the size you got. We are short a few youth Mediums's. Some folks may have gotten a YM instead of an adult medium. Also, many of our parents last night after seeing the shirts wished they had ordered one for themselves. We may be able to put in another rush order if enough people are interested. Please email me asap if you would like to be included. apandalian@aol.com.

- Thank you to my incredible Inishfree Family! -- Colleen Q, 09:39:09 07/08/08 Tue
I really don't know how I can possibly begin to properly thank you all for all that you have done for me...
It has been a dream of mine to become a TCRG since I was about 12 years old- and to be teaching with a school like Inishfree is a dream come true!
I always say that I am so lucky to be a part of our amazing school- and I truly am.
I have to thank all of the incredible parents who have supported me since I began teaching with Inishfree five years ago- and who were EVEN more amazingly supportive as I was studying and practicing for my exam. Your belief in me and my abilities has always meant so much- and your warm wishes, thoughts and prayers were so greatly appreciated.
Thank you to ALL of our dancers- from our beginners to our Seniors- even when you didn't know how to respond to my, shall we say, irrepressible perkiness(?) you all still listened and worked with me! It has been so wonderful to see you all working to reach your potential and being there with you through the great times, and even the disappointments. It is an honor to work with such a talented group of children and young adults- but besides having talent- you all are just great kids! I have had so much fun working with you all week after week- and I can't wait to see what we can accomplish together in the future!
And to Sean- thank you, thank you, thank you. You have believed in teaching ability from Day 1, and you have offered insight, suggestions, criticisms and praise that have always been so very helpful in making me reach my potential as a teacher. You have always treated me as an equal, and it has been so very much appreciated. You have trusted me with your students, and I cannot begin to let you know how much that has meant to me. I have always told people that working with you and learning from you is like going to the Harvard of Irish Dance teaching- and it is so true! Your teaching style, positive thinking, ethics, and never give up attitude have been a constant inspiration to me- and have made Inishfree into the school it is. Thank you for giving me the chance to be a part of it all- I am so excited that I am an Inishfree TCRG!
And, of course, thank you soooo much to my Mom, Dad, and sister Tara- who were there for me from the time I learned my first jigs, got my first recall, went to my first worlds, supported me through great results and reassured me after the not so great ones, who bought me shoes,wigs, and costumes, who glued rhinestones on my socks years before rhinestones came on socks, who spent endless hours curling my hair, then hours the next day taking out those curlers, who drove me back and forth to classes, privates, dance outs, feisanna, Nationals- who were always there for a hug and a kiss when they were so needed, who have come to all Inishfree events, who have opened St. Stephen's for me when I was running late, who call constantly during majors to see how the Inishfree dancers are doing, who are glued to the message boards and live commentary during said majors to see how Inishfree is getting on, who were there for me with hugs, cheers, and happy tears when I got to go up on stage for my first time for an Oireachtas winner, who put up with my nerves before, during, and after my TCRG exam, and for never being less than 110% behind me in everything that I have ever done- in Irish dancing and beyond. Even when I may not show it- it has always meant so very much. I love you guys!
THANK YOU INISHFREE! I AM SO PROUD TO BE YOUR NEWEST TCRG!
