No class on September 21, 2021, which is Mid Autumn festival. I plan to take an online course on September 28, 2021, so we will not have class on that day either.

Order Studio Classroom Magazine for the Fall Term of 2021

We will order one copy of Studio Classroom magazine for each member of our class, whether you will return in the fall term or not. Yes, even if you are not sure if you will or are unable to come back in the fall, you will get one magazine delivered to you by the post office without having to pay for it. The class fund will cover the cost of the magazine and postage. 

Studio Classroom will mail out the August issue starting in mid July. So if we order the August issue now for the fall term, people can start studying it in August. 

Thanks so much to the class leader Sania for suggesting it in our online class on July 13, 2021!

Please let Sania know the address you would like the magazine to be mailed to and phone number to be put on the group order form, for the August issue, by July 21, 2021. 

If you prefer a different issue, as one member of the class had said, please let us know.

Thank you!

Happy studying in the summer!
