Dear Families...
It's Time for Practicum! Belton June 19-21st
Introducing Our Speaker:
Krystal Cano
Krystal Cano and her family have been a part of Classical Conversations for over eight years. She and her husband, Chris, have four children; two boys and two girls. Although she has served in many roles for Classical Conversations, her favorite role has always been the role of Challenge tutor because it has catapulted her love for true classical christian education.
Krystal has served as a Challenge tutor for five years, which she will stand in the Challenge 3 director role this fall. She is passionate in helping parents see the beauty in the classical christian traditions.
