ASPIRE Class Information

Editor's Note:

The new ASPIRE semester starts soon. Spring Horton has submitted a description of her classes for your consideration. Pass it on too. Instructors are invited to email class information and calls for students to vcrary@yahoo.com for blogging - and to do our bit to help fill their classes. You could  post your information as a comment to this post, but a separate message would probably be more effective. If you have relevant images uploaded to the net, include addresses for the jpegs too.

I'm also asking program director Anne Ravenstone to send me current aspire information for blogging. I will post a list of classes as soon as I have it. Until then, if you teach in the program, send me information about your classes and tell your cohorts to do the same, You can learn more about the program and how to enroll in the After School Program or Family Learning Center classes, call Anne Ravenstone, 847-2231, at the elementary school or email her at aravenstone@mountainair.k12.nm.us.

Hi there!

Well, another ASPIRE semester is about to start, so I thought I would contact you with the new information.

Another jewelry class is planned for Wednesdays at 5:30pm to 7pm. It is a family class. All ages are welcome. Classes should be starting on February 6th, but only if we have enough students. So we need people to sign up. We'll be covering lots of different techniques, including making your own beads and making jewelry out of things you'd normally throw away.

We will also be doing ballroom dancing again on Tuesday nights. Once again, it should start February 4th, but the classes have to have three or more students. This class will be a beginning/intermediate mix. Students will be learning 6 dances, cha cha, merengue, tango, waltz, foxtrot and mambo. It is an all ages class. The ones who have already taken ballroom dancing will get to learn more advanced techniques and choreograph their own pieces to performing at the end of session Open House.

So, if you could post something about this ASAP I would really appreciate it. If there aren't enough students the first week, the class start could be postponed until we have enough students, but I would like to get started as soon as we can, especially for the dance so that we have enough time to learn everything and get performances ready.

Thanks a lot!

Spring
