Schedule of Classes 2017/2018

I have listed the classes and the volunteer activities separately.  If you would like to see them in order, go to our Upcoming Events page. Sketch classes are designed to work together, so students are encouraged to attend as often as possible.  Volunteer events, on the other hand, are entirely optional.  Please come volunteer if you are available, but we understand if the project or timing doesn't work for your family.  Thanks for all you do!
