Spanish Language After-School for Drummond kids

Filed under: General and Misc — nicole at 11:17 am on Wednesday, February 4, 2009

As an addition to our wonderful in-school French program, the After School Committee is considering proposing an after-school Spanish class for our kids this Spring.  We have invited two vendors who have provided after-school language classes in over 30 schools in CPS- Language Stars and Spanish Horizons.  The classes could be offered for children ages 3-13 and would require the payment of a fee.

Both organizations have been invited to Drummond to answer your questions.

Language Stars will be available THIS FRIDAY Feb. 6th before school at 8:00am to answer questions about their program. Coffee and muffins will be provided by the LSC. Information is also available on the LSC website on the after-school page. http://www.drummondlsc.org/main/after-school-committee/

Next Tuesday, Feb. 10th, Spanish Horizons will be available to discuss after-school Spanish. Additional information about this organization can be found at

http://www.drummondlsc.org/main/after-school-committee/

If you are interested, please come and learn about the options for Spanish after-school at Drummond.
