Possible Spanish before school Enrichment
We are looking into the possibility of having a Spanish enrichment class before school next year.  We need to see if we have the interest from parents and also if we can find a highly qualified teacher.  We are tentatively scheduling this class  on Tuesday through Friday 7:45 a.m. - 8:35 a.m.
 The cost would be $200 per month.  Please click on the link below and let us know if you are interested.  Thank you for your input.
