We are setting up home-school art classes, starting on October 21st. Classes will be held at the Singing Arrow Community Center on every Wednesday from 10.00am to 11.00am
http://local.yahoo.com/info-20195807-singing-arrow-community-center-albuquerqueClasses will run in an 8 class cycle and will cost $32 per cycle. This comes to $4 per class. Classes will include material and the $32 will have to be paid at the first class of the cycle. The price is based on a minimum of ten students, in order to make it realistic for our teacher to work at this extremely low price.
Should we not reach the minimum of ten pupils, we will consider between us if we want to pay a higher price or if we want to cancel the classes.
Our new teacher's name is Robert Martz and he has been kind enough to provide us with a short bio which you will find below this email.
Tanya and I have had the pleasure of meeting Rob in person and we are very excited about the material Rob is planning to cover in his classes.

These classes are open to all home schoolers. We are sending out this email to those who were at one point in Cassandra's classes and to those who we think might be interested. Feel free to forward it to home schoolers known to you or post it on your respective home school fora.
Sign up with me, Ginou, at inginouity@yahoo.com at your earliest convenience, so we have a good picture of how many students we have.
We are very happy we are able to offer these classes, which we feel will be an enrichment to the education of our children and we do hope to see you there.
