Rochette's parents, who spoke only French, felt that learning another language would be a vital skill to Joannie, allowing her to eventually live and work outside of...

(Entry 1 of multiple on this topic)
In my travels, I have encountered so many parents who would like their children to learn a foreign language. The conversation usually begins something like this: "I wish I could teach my child(ren) a language, but I don't speak one myself." This is usually followed by: "Languages are not offered in my child's school." or "Languages aren't offered until Middle or High School in this area. I'd like my child(ren) to start...

Hello, we are in need of volunteers to come into the office over the next couple of weeks to help work on projects for the activities to be held the day of the Great Venetian Duck Race on February 27. If you have even a couple of hours that you can devote to this worthy cause for the children so that they will have lots of fun that day. Children love to take home a souvenir of their day with Quackers and 10,000 ducks. Please drop by. THANK YOU :)
