Dear Parents, As we are coming to the close of the 2018-19 school year, we wanted to inform you about a change coming in the fall. While we have enjoyed our time at Lone Star Language Academy this year on Tuesday afternoons for Mid-Week Hebrew, we have decided to move back to St. Andrew United Methodist Church next year. St. Andrew underwent some major renovations to their school wing this year, but they have completed the majority of the work and are thrilled that we will be returning again for our Mid-Week Hebrew sessions. As a reminder, St. Andrew United Methodist Church is located at 5801 W. Plano Parkway, Plano. Our first Tuesday at St. Andrew will be on September 10, 2019 beginning at 4:30pm and concluding at 6:00pm. If you have any questions or would like to discuss this change in more depth, please feel free to contact me at [email protected] or Karen Thompson at [email protected]. Looking forward to seeing you in the Fall!
