Designed for people who speak little or no English. This is a fun and engaging way for students to learn English vocabulary and grammar in context while gaining skills and strategies in reading, writing, listening and speaking. Students are tested to see what level they are currently which will help in placement. All tests are to measure your current level and are NOT pass or fail tests.

During this 4-week session, you will learn the basics of wheel throwing to make simple vessels such as bowls, tumblers, and plates. Weeks 1 and 2 will be focused on throwing and weeks 3 and 4 we will be decorating and glazing. Work will be picked up following week 4.

Paranormal Five is hosting a fundraiser for Biddeford Adult Education. Come and investigate with Maine paranormal investigators. See how paranormal investigating is done in real life versus what you see on TV. You will be able to see equipment and be able to see a different side to the J. Richard Martin Community Center. The building is extremely interesting with spirits that love to chat and let you know they are there. We cannot guarantee paranormal activity but any experience that you may have during the investigation is a real experience.

Join us for a fun and creative class where you’ll transform two beautiful shells into stunning trinket dishes using napkins and decoupage! With a variety of gorgeous designs to choose from, you can personalize your piece to match your style-whether you prefer a scallop shell or a clam shell. No experience is needed-just bring your creativity and enjoy a relaxing time crafting. You’ll leave with one unique keepsake for yourself and another to gift to someone special!

There is a $10 material fee due to the instructor the night of class.

Learn to play the ukulele! It has never been more popular and you don?t even have to know how to read music! On the uke you can knock out folk music, rock, blues, jazz, pop, country, tunes old and new -- even classical music. Duncan Perry, who has taught more than 700 students of all ages, will introduce you to essential chords and playing techniques using commonly known songs. Oh, and there are lots of laughs along the way. And, learning to play an instrument is good for your brain! You will need a playable ukulele and an electronic tuner or a tuner app. And when folks hear you play this happy instrument, well, they just have to smile! If you don?t own a ukulele, please contact us for information. What are you waiting for? Grab a uke and get ready for a musical adventure, then spread the joy! Please check for an email (could be in your Spam folder) from the instructor with the Zoom link in the days before the class.

Laurel Hill Cemetery in Saco was designed in the middle 1800s to encourage visitation. Its inviting pathways, sloping landscapes, and lush plantings (including an incredible display of daffodils each spring) provide a backdrop for a fine variety of gravestone styles, materials, and symbols. Our stroll through this beloved cemetery will take about 90 minutes. Two identical tours will run the same day, at noon and again at 2:00pm. Register early…this tour usually sells out.

Join me for a fun filled night. We will participate in a themed activity. We will listen to good books, sing songs, make crafts, and enjoy a snack together. Family story hour is a wonderful educational opportunity to spend quality time with your children while having a fun time.
