The Tagalog class was attended by 18 students. Teacher Lorlie Sardinia was assisted by Narcita Eugenio and Nolette Serra. The class was differentiated because it ranged from Kindergarten to Middle school grades. It was suggested that the levels will have to be separated next time. Having many levels presents many challenges in a language class. The next Tagalog class for children may be offered in October depending on the availability of an instructor.
