Gleamer is working on putting together next trimester's classes and field trips. What non-compulsive classes might your child be interested in participating in? What destinations would they enjoy going on field trips to?

Property for Sale or Rent?
Raw Learning is looking for a new space on the NORTH side of Staunton since we have folks who come from Harrisonburg and as far as Luray. Our lease at our current location can continue until June 18th, 2010. We believe they will let us out of our obligation with 30 days notice.
To Rent: We can spend about $800 per month and are willing to consider just about anything that has a safe place for the kids to play outside.
To Purchase: We are looking for 5-10 acres of land, with or without a structure of some sort. We are able to spend about $10,000 per acre, without a structure and about $200,000 total with a structure.
