Thank you to those who have already registered. Registration is either online through M-NCPPC or in person at Bladensburg
or at other M-NCPPC community centers. Keep in mind that everyone should register and pay the first day of class attendance,
so that students can be accounted for and their attendance tracked appropriately for everyone concerned, including the class
participants. If you register online, please be sure to bring in your receipt to ensure the information has come up in the
center's records. If you have any questions or concerns about which class to sign up for or about payment,
talk with Dr. Thomas or Ms. McCutchen. Thank you!
