Thank You For Summer School!

The Summer term for the San Mateo Adult School begins May 3, 2010.
We are very lucky we have school this summer.

The San Mateo Union High School District must make many difficult decisions now. There is not enough money in the budget. They do not want to cut things but they must. They do not have enough money for the Adult School to have a full summer term.

But! We are lucky!

The United States Congress passed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. President Obama was very happy. He wanted this program to be approved by Congress and help people. The purpose of the program is to create jobs and make the economy stronger. Some of the money went to education. Some of the money went to us!

The San Mateo Adult School administration decided to use the money to keep the summer term open. The summer term is May 3 through July 30, 2010. The Adult School is closed for four weeks in August.

Note: For ESL students, there are no classes - except Distance Learning - on Monday, May 3. On that Monday, the teachers will meet to improve their teaching. The first day for ESL students for the ESL summer term classes is Tuesday May 4.

Thank you, President Obama and the United State Congress for this help. We are glad we have school this summer.

Now let's use this time to learn English!
