Two students were awarded certificates at a special end-of-the-summer celebration at the Riley Court Apartments. Ramon speaks and understands English at an intermediate level, but was able to increase vocabulary and improve his grammar. Maria, a beginner. is still so shy about speaking, but she has learned so many new words and understands much of what she hears. She is on her way, and is eager to learn more. This informal class has worked wonderfully for her, and she will be enrolling at the local elementary school class when her son is old enough for the preschool class.
Sue Hummel and Helen Essenwanger have been faithfully sharing the leadership of this class. Sue has been the English teacher and Helen has provided educational fun with the children while their parents were learning. Sue needs to take some time off to get a consulting business going, but says she will be back!
New volunteers are always welcome.
