Summer School 2010!

Hey Everyone!

That time is nearly upon us again, SPEF Summer School is back this June! Oh, and incidentally, so am I. :) I again plan to teach Hogwarts School of Wizardry (Years I and II) as well as Book Cooks. Hogwarts is getting cleaned by the house elves from top to bottom in preparation for your arrival from the Hogwarts Express, either by boat or thestral. I'm fine-tuning some new stories and recipes to add the 2010 Book Cooks menu, but don't worry, we'll still be making a lot of old favorites. I am also excited to be introducing an All-American Girl class, based on the popular book series. Students (boys are more than welcome!) will go back in time with a different American Girl every week, learning history while also doing some fun activities, culminating with a Friday tea party or picnic. You will not want to miss this!

Of course, please be sure to check out the other classes being offered by the great staff and if you're 5th grade and up, the middle and high schools will no doubt have an awesome lineup as well. Registration opens this April and I hope to see your shiny, happy faces on June 28!

Testimonials

"This is so lovely for you to take the time to write this blog. Thank you very much for all of the extra time you are putting in. "
"Thanks for posting photos of the class on your blog! It's really fun to scroll through and find photos of [my son] having fun cooking and tasting all sorts of yummy dishes. We don't usually get a chance to meet the summer school teachers so this is an awesome way for you to share what goes on in class. [He] is enjoying himself. I love the concept for the class and think it's a great way to read, cook, and share."
"Thanks so much Miss Cong, we will follow along with your blog and we hope you're doing these courses next year, [my daughter] will be one of the first to sign up!"
"I just wanted to thank you SO much for making Book Cooks such a fun class for my twins. They loved being able to cook real food for themselves, and our whole family loved being able to follow along with your blog and photos. Thanks for taking the time to make this an experience we could all share."
"I just wanted to drop a line and say thank you so much for a wonderful summer!!! Both [daughters] had the BEST time in your Hogwarts class. They came home every day so excited to talk about what they'd done - and it was all so creative! So I know you must have put a great deal of time, thought and energy into planning it."
"My daughter [name omitted] was in two of your classes this summer, and I just wanted to drop you a line to tell you how much I appreciate the experiences you provided for her each day. She came home excited about each new thing that you did with the kids, whether making hoecakes or butterbeer! And she is generally hard to impress...jaded for her age due to two (also jaded) teenage siblings. So I know that she really had a wonderful time in your classes. I also wanted to tell you how impressed I was with the amount of work -- in terms of preparation and gathering materials -- that you put into each class. And the attention to detail...wow! Thank you for going above and beyond to give the kids a fabulous and truly unforgettable summer experience!"
"I've been wanting to tell you how much my boys love your classes! It's the first thing they talk about when they see me each afternoon. Very cool."
"What a class you must be teaching - [names omitted] both came home so excited and talked about their Hogwarts class for half an hour! Thank you for all of your hard work and creativity."
"I spoke with a mom yesterday who unsolicited offered up terrific and unsolicited praise of you and your classes."
"Just a quick note to let you know how popular your classes are! We have already filled your third period Hogwarts class (in fact, yours was among the first class to fill during last week’s live registration!)"
