We'll miss you Hank, but we'll keep carrying the torch for your children and our children. Because it's summer, it doesn't mean the Language Program takes a summer break, we start working on next years lessons. It also means that we will offer classes for students during summer academy, provide lessons for the radio, paper, interested summer youth workers.ECE teachers and community classes. The Language Program was glad to host Warm Springs Elementary, Mr Rodene's class. We were very impressed with the children's behavior and their enthusiasm to learn the language. The children continue to amaze us with the quickness that they "grasp" the language. We will continue with the language lessons as long as it takes to have everyone speaking and using their native tongue to greet one another.
