"In The Know" - 3/29/2016
A Message from the Leadership Team
We are also gearing up for the Spring session. Catalogs are in stands across the county. Do you know a business that would allow us to place our catalogs? If so, share with the office. Kudos to the staff for working diligently in teaching their individual classes. I see some fantastic things happening in classes. This week I will be "popping in" to take pictures to highlight our classes on Facebook. If you haven't already, like our page--Collier Adult & Community Education. Summer book has gone to the printer. We are hoping to have the final product back by the first week of Spring classes. Thank you for all you do to ensure our program is successful.
