This week, A WIN- WIN!

Despite the inclement weather, we will attempt to hold the Masmid program as scheduled however if you are absent, it will not be deducted from your attendance record in qualifying for the Frequent Masmid prize for the second session. Please use your judgment in determining whether it is safe to drive at that time. In the event that you can not attend, by all means try to learn at home with an adult for at least 45 minutes and that WILL count for your attendance record in qualifying for the Frequent Masmid.

The Frequent Masmid prizes from the first session WILL BE DISTRIBUTED this week (weather permitting) . If you cannot make it this week we WILL hold on to them so you can claim them at a later date.

Due to the inclement weather we will not be serving pizza this week even in the event that a program is held.
