3. My grandson's elementary school foreign language immersion program is not recruiting for

German kindergarten. They will go through sixth grade in German for the existing class but the German class will disappear.

My grandson's Italian program is doing pretty well. They keep getting the lower grade class populated so so far so good. He is going into 3rd grade in the fall.

The school is meeting with success for the upcoming inauguration of its newest addition, French. So many folks in the LA area want their kids to learn French and there are only private schools that start the little ones off and take them through in French. Our elementary school in Glendale is a magnet school for those families drawn to having their kids start another language (or keep them fluent if a parent speaks the other language in the home).
