BECCA'S CLASSES AT THE SALVATION ARMY, 2009-10
Quite a few of you already know that Becca Hubbard will be teaching homeschool enrichment classes on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at the Salvation Army and have even tried to sign up! We know her classes will be wonderful and are really excited to have her teach this year! Below is a schedule of Becca’s classes (in blue) and other important details. There is some flexibility in the classes - especially on Wednesdays. If you would like one of Becca’s classes at a different time let us know and we might be able to arrange it. We need about 6 students to form a class and try to coordinate with Salvation Army P.E. and Spanish. The registration, set-up and pricing are very similar to the Spanish classes.
If you would like to meet Becca Hubbard and discuss the homeschool enrichment classes or tutoring possibilities, she will be at the SHARE New Homeschoolers Seminar on September 1 and the SHARE Support Group meeting on September 8!

Have a good weekend! Kerrie
