There are SO many vendors on our Visions list that it is hard to know where to start. I often am asked for recommendations for classes or lessons, but don’t know many of the vendors.

So I have an idea.

When you have some time (in the next week or two), please email me at least one referral, but as many as you like. Some of you have not signed up for lessons before, but many of you have done so. I would love to have you take a few minutes to give us your recommendations. Include the category, name, contact information, and any comments that you’d find helpful. I’ve included a sample at the end of this post. You can email me or post a comment here. I’ll compile the list and share out to our whole group. I have 34 students, so this should give us a good start. Here are the categories I came up with, but email me if you think of any others:

- Art Lessons

-Music Lessons

-Sports, Physical Fitness (group or individual lessons)

-Languages (American Sign Language, Foreign Language)

-Tutoring

-Group Classes (list the area of instruction and location)

Monart’s School of the Arts

This is a popular choice for art lessons, with a variety of classes available. My kids have participated in the summer camp sessions and loved it. Check out the gallery online.
