Request a program
For schools and community groups. Tell us about your students and what you have in mind, and Mrs. Richardson will follow up to plan it with you.
Please ask 6 to 8 weeks ahead when you can. That gives us time to review student needs, program goals, scheduling, staffing and resources. Availability depends on capacity and funding.
