THE PROGRAM

After receiving very helpful feed back from our amazing patrons, we have made a few changes to our program.

Now you can register for Supper Club PER PARTY.

We understand that middle school students have a full calendar, and it can be difficult to commit, in September, to several classes throughout the school year. So, we hope to make it MUCH EASIER ON YOU!!

WAIT LIST

If necessary to balance the number of boys and girls, your child may be placed on a wait-list. This means that there is room in the class, but we must balance the number of boys and girls so that everyone has a partner. Your child can become a member immediately if you get a boy or girl, as needed (who is not already registered), to join his or her class so that the numbers are balanced. Please call us if you have any questions.
