Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 6
Valentine's Day has its roots in mythology, paganism, superstition, and drunken bird-watching.

We'll get down to the bottom of what many believe is nothing more than a Hallmark holiday and let you decide if you want to celebrate it or not...and how.

The class is lecture and discussion based, so meaningful participation is encouraged.

This hour will not be for the weak of heart or those looking for a love story.  Tales of animal sacrifice, naked babies, and beatings abound.
