Group Special Events
We encourage our English learners to get involved in community events and programs, which could be of benefit to their families and themselves.
One way we encourage this is to organize group outings with tutors to events happening in our community. The students spend time with their tutor before attending, learning about the event, why it is happening and what it means to the history of the area or the community at present. Learners then meet at the event and have tutor(s) there to take them around, answer questions and explain things to them.
Community events that our group has recently attended include:
* 2010 Adult Learners' Showcase
* Barbara Adler Poetry events
* Cowboy Storyteller
* Flower Springs Hike
* Olympic Torch Relay
* Relay for Life
