Adult Education
This Thursday evening the school system and volunteer coordinator Jan Makelaare trying an experiment. * The high school will be the location for Adult Education ‘‘Sampler Night,” a series of mini-courses. The intention is to see if there is sufficient interest to plan for a full program of adult education next school year.
A wide variety of classes will be offered — everything from help finding a job to how to invest in stocks. ■ Conway Porter from the Virginia Employment Commission will discuss “Skills You May Need to be More Employable,” and Darrow Kirkpatrick will speak on “Resume Writing and Interviewing Skills.” Joe Biggs and Dick Manson will give a presentation in “Investments and Stocks.” I On a somewhat less serious note Kaye Kohler will do a presentation on flower drying, Davette Kvames will offer Drawing, and •t Liz Blubaugh will present “Conversational Spanish.” ; Pam Roszak and Amy Saxton will give parents ideas for summer learning activities for their children, and Dee Van Horn will talk about children with attention deficit hyperactivity. ’ One problem facing the school system is that a lower percentage of Rappahannock taxpayers have children in the public schools than is typical for surrounding counties. While the public schools have many friends and supporters in that mostly older group of taxpayers, there are more who feel paying taxes for schools provides them ^ith no return on their money. * But anyone can take advantage of adult education, and the schools are trying to establish a program that indeed has “something for everyone.” v, Come to the RCHS library Thursday night from 7 to 8:30 p.m.,
” .The high school Athletic Boosters Club has most of the funds heeded to erect a sign 20 feet long by six and a half feet high in front of the high school, but the cost of anodized aluminum letters to go on both sides of the sign has the members stymied. ” So to raise the. needed funds the Boosters are selling letters for $40 each. * See a club member to purchase a letter, or consider another contribution for this project. and give it a try.
