Chinese this Summer
Maria Koullick has this to pass along...
There will be Chinese School summer camp in Eden Praire. The first session is in June(2 weeks), the second is in July(2 weeks). The school web site is: www.mnhuaxia.org. I'd like to see if people are intested in car pooling.
I am aslo looking for a Chinese nanny for the month of August. It would be fun if several kids want to joint Alexandra. I can provide my home as a meeting ground.
