Special Note to All Parents: We need your help for these classes to run smoothly. Please be sure that you understand the age range for our classes. The material we cover is written specifically for this age group. Younger students would struggle with the content and therefore find these classes frustrating. We work hard to ensure that each student who participates, regardless of their skill level, receives a worthwhile experience. Our rules exist to support that mission. Also, please make sure that your child knows that unruly or disrespectful behavior will result in their removal from the class. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. We look forward to seeing you and your children at AirVenture!
