Morning Cantonese Language Program
We are now accepting applications for enrollment in the Morning Cantonese Language Program. There are five levels in the Cantonese program. Level 1 does not require any Chinese experience. All other levels need to be tested before enrollment if not progressing from a lower level. Classes begin at 8:15 a.m. and end at 9:15 a.m on school days in the Community Room at Lakeshore school. The tuition for the Cantonese program is $700 (payable in two installments) for the school year, plus $25 registration. Enrollment will be on a first- come-first-serve basis. Please email us mcpatlakeshore@gmail.com with any questions or if you would like a registration form. Registrations forms are also available in the Lakeshore office.
Dear Supporters of Lakeshore’s Poetry Program,
The new poetry anthologies are on their way. I’ve had some excellent parent help preparing the book, and I want to thank all those who helped type and format these wonderful poems.
WE NEED a poetry book coordinator (or two) for the coming year’s anthology. It would require computer skills, especially regarding formatting the poems on the page. It would also require coordinating the distributions and re-collection of the class sets of poems. Someone who loves poetry is a good idea, too.
Please let me and Megumi Fuse, PTA President, (megumifuse@gmail.com) ASAP if you are able and willing to do this very rewarding job. We’d like to give you a chance to confer with me and Toni Vedar, this year’s coordinator/formatter, to impart a clear idea of the parameters of the job before school is out.
Thank you, Grace Grafton, Lakeshore Poet In Residence
