Dear students and parents,

Registration for next year’s classes begins this week for students already enrolled in this year’s seminars. Your siblings may also enroll at this time. Beginning on February 28, the registration will be open to new students.

Below are the book lists for next years classes and a registration form. Both are also available at ashevillelatinseminars.blogspot.com. I will have both documents available in the classroom as well this week.

The fees for registering are $25 per class. Please note that these fees apply to next year’s classes. The total cost per seminar will be $220, so that the amount due later in the summer will be $195.

Here is a list of students who earlier indicated an interest in the AP courses. Your spot in these courses is reserved for this week. You need to submit a registration form and fees by February 28 to secure that spot.

AP Literature and Composition: Mary Kania, Aubrey McCleary, Jeremy Minick, Meredith Payne, Elizabeth Roberts, Sam Scott, Abigail Siemens, Bill Young

AP English Language and Composition: Caleb Goodrum, Cole Maita, Stuart Voigt

AP Latin: Mary Kania,

U.S. History: Katie Comaris, Natalie Delp, Molly Dorris, Rebecca Dorris, Levi Hall, Anna Hostetler, Aubrey McCleary, Cole Maita, Meredith Payne, Kyle Phillips, Madison Pierce, Miller Pierce, Elizabeth Roberts, Keeley Sprouse, Stuart Voigt

Please note: the AP U.S. course is nearly full. If necessary, we may need to make the 9:00 U.S. History course on Thursday an AP course.

Best wishes this lovely Saturday morning,

Mr. Minick
