Saturday School happens rarely, but it is a very important opportunity to grab.

The December 14, 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. half-day session helps the El Tejon Unified School District earn back some of the funds it has already lost this year due to student absences.

For students, it is a chance to take interesting enrichment classes in subjects they might not otherwise get to sample. It is a win-win. And for parents hoping to score some kid-free holiday shopping, it is an extra win!

All students enrolled in ETUSD are welcome, whether or not they have had absences. Teachers have put together a menu of enjoyable and creative events to choose from.

Students in 5th through 12th grades have Saturday School at Frazier Mountain High School. They can choose from Peer Helping, Ag, Spanish, Art, Math Activities and Chess.

Frazier Park School will hold Saturday School for students in K–4th grades. Past classes have included fun fare such as Paper Airplanes and Computer Tech.

There is even bus transportation. See a hotlink at www.MountainEnterprise.com for the special route schedule.
