If your child is attending our Classic 8-week session, please find a Major, Minor, and Recreational Activity that they are interested in for both the 4-week A and 4-week B sessions. Some classes are offered for both A and B, while others are only offered for one. The only class that must be taken for all eight weeks is the Usdan Troupe.
