Rate us on Yelp!
It can be difficult to find
the right studio to join, and
not everyone has a friend
who can help them decide
which studio is best for
their needs.
Rate us on Yelp and tell
everyone what you think
about SMA! You might just
help someone find their
new passion.

Santas Milk &

Cookies
Why do we leave out cookies
and milk for Santa? They are
delicious, but that isnt the
only reason...
Santa has a lot of work to do
on Christmas. Cookies are
packed with sugars and carbs,
which both give the body
bursts of quick energy. And
milk is full of protein which
helps keep you full.
So milk and cookies are a
great meal for someone with
millions of presents to deliver!
But, unless you are magic,
dont try eating as many
cookies as Santa in one night!
You wont feel so good.
-Mr. Hurst
P.S. - Dont forget carrots for his reindeer!
