School Start Date Change

I talked to Dynelle in admissions for Toni&Guy Academy Scottsdale the other day and she let me know that Corporate has decided to push back the April 1st start date to April 8th because there is five weeks in April. They wanted to make it an even 4 week month in April so everyone starts in better time frame I guess. But it works out and is an answer to prayers because my dad is finishing fixing my car so its more convenient in the long run. So my orientation is now on the 7th and I start on the 8th. More updates to come!
