Fall Programs 2023
Palestinian American Community Center
Annual Programs vs. Session Programs What is the difference?
Annual (28-week) Programs:
We are now offering our Dabka and Arabic programs as Annual Programs that will run for a total of 28 weeks throughout the fall, winter, and spring seasons. Parents will no longer need to register their child(ren) for each individual session– instead, registration will happen one time only at the start of the fall session and last until the end of the spring session in June.
Why are we doing this?
Attending Dabka or Arabic consistently for an entire year, it will help students strengthen their skills and more easily progress from level to level. The majority of our previous Dabka and Arabic program students are recurring students throughout the sessions so this will help minimize the time it takes to re-register a child and also minimize the likelihood of missed or forgotten payments. All Dabka and Arabic students will be with the same group of students for the duration of the year so this helps create long-lasting relationships among the child(ren) and will add a sense of comfort/ community to each class.
What do I have to do? Our annual program will only be open to those who are part of our PACC Family Discount program (see previous page). So you have to sign up! Becoming a PACC Family Discount member will allow anyone who is registered for our annual programs to receive special discounts on all programs throughout the year.
What are the perks?
All annual program registrants will receive FREE homework help as needed between the months of September to May. Our Homework Help program runs Monday through Thursday from 4 pm to 6 pm. Through having a consistent stream of students throughout the year, PACC is able to offer the annual program pricing at a more affordable rate than per session.
Session Long Programs:
Similar to our previous sessions, we will still be offering session long programs. We will offer a wide variety of programs for all ages that you and your family can enjoy without having to commit for the entire year. Examples of these programs include Arabic Storytime, Cooking Club, Tatreez, Basketball, Soccer, Sewing, and so much more! Scheduling details and pricing are listed on the upcoming pages. Our fall session programs will run for TEN WEEKS only and will begin on Saturday, September 30 and will end on Friday, December 8.
