If your student is interested, please fill out the interest form and vote on the show to help us shape this year’s musical.

The Children’s Center for Language and Culture, Inc. (ChiCeLaCu!) in partnership with the Forestville ES PTA is pleased to offer the Spanish Program for its 16th consecutive year. ChiCeLaCu’s goal is to cement a strong language foundation, ultimately enabling students to become proficient Spanish speakers.  This upcoming school year will feature a 3 day and NEW 5 days option. See here for more information!

On June 11 at 7:00 PM, join us on Zoom for our Curriculum Enhancement Showcase, where we’ll spotlight the incredible opportunities available to students beyond the school day. From before‑school Spanish and after‑school enrichment like robotics and chess, to a new proposal for the school musical, PTA‑sponsored clubs such as Science Olympiad and Odyssey of the Mind, and community groups including Girl Scouts and Cub Scouts—there’s so much to celebrate and explore together.
