May

Several things I wanted to tell you all. First, thank you all for all the support you have given us these last 4 years. You have been a blessing to me and my family in letting me teach your little ones. In saying that, we will be having our last class May 31st.
Also, we will not be having class May 10th or May 17th due to family obligations.
The rest of May will be having lots of fun lessons. We would love to see everyone one last time!
