CHINESE LANGUAGE CLASSES IN YAMHILL COUNTY
We are in the beginning stages of starting up classes in McMinnville. I am currently working with a local Chinese family who are interested in teaching the class, which will include learning the Mandarin language and the Chinese culture. They have asked me to post to find out if there are any other families interested in having their children attend. If there are, then we will proceed on finding a public location (library, school or community center) where classes can begin in September.
Please contact me, Stephanie Liebelt at dsk@onlinemac.com if you may be interested or have thoughts/questions.

PRE-K MANDARIN CLASSES
Hilltop Christian School (on Dosch and Beaverton-Hillsdale Rd) offers a Mandarin class for children ages 3-6. They offer a Level 1 class for 1 hour, once a week after the regular preschool and will be offering a Level II class for Kindergarteners also after school. They’re making it so children who might not attend Hilltop can attend these classes. It's a great opportunity to keep our little ones exposed to their birth country’s language.
For more information, contact:
Hilltop Christian School
