But many of our parents are really scraping to send their children to us. The local public school is not a good choice.

Originally Posted By bobbelee9 Not to knock public school in other communities. I moved here 45 years ago, my husband and first 3 children were all local public school educated. There was a terrible decline in the qualiity of education between the first and third child. So my fourth went Catholic School, and I ended up working there. IMHO the decline was due to a large invasion of people who where interested in drug pushing and receiving wellfare. My Catholic school has a large number of immigrants from Pakistan, Lebanon, Tahiti. These are classy hard working non-Catholics who would rather have their children receive a Catholic education than be exposed to garbage in the local public school.

Originally Posted By MPierce Me to, I was very disappointed that I never heard them play Desert Rose on my last trip. They have a different belly dancer now too.

I hear they are great though.
