New Students

Many of the new students that have joined the classes have been in the United States less than a year.  These students need survival English skills which include what to do in an emergency, reading bus schedules,  employment ads, and utility bills.  Speaking to a doctor, police officer or their child's teacher are also necessary skills covered in the program throughout the year.
