At the bottom of the summer schedule, there is a newly updated photo section of truly wonderful and memorable moments !  Check them out ! ....

 

NEXT - WELCOME TO ARI GIORDANO !

As you may or may not know, Mr. Kowalski retired from his teaching position in Lancaster after a wonderfully fulfilling 39-year career.  He (I) stayed on as director of CKSO until I was sure the "right director" was in place.  I am THRILLED to announce we have that ! 

Mrs. Ariana Giordano was officially named director of the CKSO in January. 

Don't think Mr. K is gone quite yet!  I will still be a part of the group this school year and summer sharing and imparting all the needed information that goes into every "gig" for a smooth transition. 

So for now, you will see us BOTH working in tandem with CKSO !
