SUMMARY:GiveBIG for Education
DESCRIPTION:ARCS is proud to participate again in the GiveBIG campaign\, which supports WA-based non-profit organizations. This year we are raising funds to give more students the opportunity to learn about the Romanian culture and language. With your support we would like to offer more scholarships to students.\n\nOur teaching methods are based on the core principles of Heritage Language Education that nourish bilingualism and address holisitically the bi-cultural identity of our students through project-based activities\, play\, authentic sources\, critical thinking\, and meaningful interactions with their families and communities. Our students gain pride and confidence as heritage language speakers and learners of Romanian\, while developing a global understanding of the world. We also offer language classes for non-heritage speakers\, especially adults.\n\nMany of our high school students end up receiving the Global Seal of Biliteracy for their linguistic competency! Our comprehensive course catalog\, together with our skilled instructors\,  provide students with the necessary tools to reach their goals.\n\nGiveBIG takes place May 5\, with early giving starting on April 28!  Please mark your calendars and help us spread the gift of language!

SUMMARY:I Must Betray You
DESCRIPTION:We starting back our book club!Join us and together we'll discover a diverse selection of books and connect over themes that inspire reflection. Our first pick is the award-winning book "I Must Betray You" by Ruta Sepetys. Please RSVP below. About the book: Romania\, 1989. Communist regimes are crumbling across Europe. Seventeen-year-old Cristian Florescu dreams of becoming a writer\, but Romanians aren’t free to dream; they are bound by rules and force. Amidst the tyrannical dictatorship of Nicolae Ceaușescu in a country governed by isolation and fear\, Cristian is blackmailed by the secret police to become an informer. He’s left with only two choices: either betray everyone and everything he loves\, or use his position to creatively undermine the most notoriously evil dictator in Eastern Europe.Cristian risks everything to unmask the truth behind the regime\, give voice to fellow Romanians\, and expose to the world what is happening in his country. He eagerly joins the revolution to fight for change when the time arrives. But what is the cost of freedom? "I Must Betray You" is available for purchase at most large book stores.
