The cost for each seven-week program is $175. There is also a $10 materials fee to be paid to the instructor on the first day of class.
Students will learn to create kites, airplanes and mobiles, using a variety of materials.
Fisher Five wins jazz competition
Five boys from Fisher Middle School, who call themselves the "Fisher Five," won the jazz combo division of the San Jose Jazz Society Smith Dobson Youth Jazz Competition. The Fisher Five are Marcus Dufort on trombone, Forest Gallien on bass guitar, David Lindskog on drums, Brandon Manning on saxophone and Tim Switzer on piano.
The competition, which took place on March 27 at San Jose State University, featured sixth- through 12th-graders from around the Bay Area.
The boys met in their school jazz band and formed their own group, which practices on weekends.
