We have expanded the evening classes to include Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. At the present time we have students who are working toward passing their GED test, earning credits toward their high school diplomas, or simply taking classes for their own self improvement. We urge all those who are interested in improving- their reading and mathematical skills to come to the Learning Center and enroll. Each person works alone and proceeds at his own rate. If you feel you have been pushed through school without having had a chance to learn or absorb as much as you think you should have, then this is your opportunity to review these basic skills. There is still time to earn credits towards a high school diploma or to work towards passing a GED test. The passing of the GED test entitles a student to 5 credits towards a high school diploma, according to Rhoda DeVed of the Uintah School District. Some students are earning additional credits through classes in sewing, cooking, and consumerism. The classes are not only interesting and fun, but they provide valuable information on how to compare prices, deal with salesmen in purchasing major appliances, and shop economically for quality products. A Class on "Parents and the Developing Child" may be offered later on this winter. This course covers the various stages of development, heridity, and the environment. A course in modern math may also be offered to those interested in obtaining a GED certificate. This is your program. It is free, and it presents a fun way to learn through the use of film strips, stories, and games all on an adult level. Come on in and look around. We welcome the opportunity to show our equipment and materials to you. Persons interested in coming to class, but who have no means of transportation should contact Gwen Mojado at the Learning Center ext. 55) - (722-226- 3, Indian Negotiable LOCATION: Washington, D.C. educat in program .
