Merry Christmas! Enjoy this wonderful holiday with family, friends, and/or loved ones.  Did you know Patty's Place does a free Christmas meal for those in need or alone over the holiday? I'm going to spend some time there greeting people who come and spreading Christmas cheer.  We are so lucky to live in such a warm community where people come together naturally in time of need for others. "Tis the Season!

No more GED: FLCC offers classes for new high school equivalency test

 

FLCC will hold a free two-week program in January to help adults prepare for the new state high school equivalency test.

 

Classes run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Thursday, Jan. 6 to 16, at three locations: the main campus in Canandaigua, the Geneva Campus Center, and the Wayne County Campus Center in Newark.

 

Classes are free to adults and out-of-school youths age 17 or older. Materials are provided.

 

The program prepares students for the new version of the high school equivalency exam, now called the Test Assessing Secondary Completion. It replaces the exam for the former general equivalency diploma, or GED.

 

"The new Common Core standards have affected not only elementary and secondary schools but high school equivalency programs as well," said Kathleen Guy, FLCC's adult basic education coordinator. "There are differences in the new state exam, and this course can prepare students for those changes."

 

To sign up or get more info, call (585) 785-1431 or click here.

Give a gift that keeps on giving - a membership for you or a loved one to the Y! Join December 18 - January 1 and the Joiner fee is waived. This is a savings of $75! Gift cards are available!

 

Take a look at the January Program Book to see all the programs we will offer for you and your family.

 

Winter break memberships for college students are now available 30 days for $30.
