Halloween Class, October 31st
Our classes for Monday, October 31st have been moved to Thursday November 3rd due to Halloween. We assume that many of our students would not be able to attend on the 31st due to Trick-or-Treat activities so we are hoping to see more of you on Thursday. We will follow a regular Monday schedule. Thank you.
