Coyle School Cookbook! Flyers were handed out at your child's class about the cookbook. We have been interested in doing a cookbook for a while. If you did not receive a copy of the flyer, please download one HERE (PDF). This is open to everyone, not just the dancing school families. If you have a recipe from another family member or even a friend at another dancing school, have them submit a recipe. The more recipes we have the better the cookbook will be. Hey! May be a #1 best seller?? It will be a great Christmas gift!!!
