District Expands Adult Education Program

Kids and adolescents are not the only students headed back to school this September. The Glen Cove City School District offers a variety of adult education courses and has expanded the number of classes for the 2010 season.

Classes begin the week of September 27 at Glen Cove High School or Finley Middle School.

While a number of classes focus on physical fitness and wellness, several courses aim to explore the student's aesthetic side. 

Every class is a rewarding experience, Richard Tortorici, the Glen Cove Adult Education Director said.

"The pursuit of knowledge, whether it is for personal or professional benefit, reinforces a commitment to lifelong learning that can only enhance your life," Tortorici said. 

Classes are open to Glen Cove residents and neighboring communities 21-years of age and older. Reduced fees and priority registration are offered to residents of the Glen Cove School District and seniors citizens. Participants may register for up to five courses.

In-person registration will be held on September 14 and 15 at Glen Cove High School, but registration is also available through mail by downloading the Adult Education brochure or picking up a brochure at any of the District's main offices.
