Now that the holidays are over and your calendars are clear (ha! ha!) please include some
of our activities in your schedule. As always, our primary goal is to promote opportunities
for skill development and personal growth. The Adult Education Program supports this
concept by providing tuition plus books for GED tests; high school completion classes if
within 2-3 of the required credits for graduation; and one self enhancement, job enhance
ment or basic skill development class per term. Classes must be at or below the 1 00 level and
may include such areas as computer, math, writing, driving, art, or senior citizen classes.
