Buford Johnson, Elaine Clements, and Valerie Agiular will be funded by the Charter School Grant to futher develop their skills in Curriculum Development of Na tive American Languages at Tucson, Arizona. They will be gone for the whole month of June, participating in a very intense curriculum development study courses. We will be look ing forward to them bringing back skills that will help futher the Wasco language develop ment. As we continue to do what we can to saturate the community with language, we hope that you are enjoying what we have been doing with the three languages. In the process we would like to have more input from the community as to what they would like to see more of. Or other suggestions and comments are very much appreciated. We know that we have many critics out there and we would like to include all of the input possible that would help to revive and maintain our languages. Although we are selective with some of the sensitive materials suggested for development, we still would like to address more of what the community would appreciate seeing and learn ing. The Language Program is sending out a questionnaire for past participants of the lan guage program. Please fill it out and send back to the program as soon as possible, or call with the information as soon as you have it in your hands. The Language Program appreciates every thing that community has to say (posi tive or negative), because it gives us more room for growth to become a better program for the community. For those that do not receive the questionnaire, we have included it here for you to have your input: What other subjects would you like to learn id your language of choice? Is there a better day, or time for you to take language classes? If yes, When? Any other SuggestionsComments?
