Dear Parents and High School Students:
The Lamplighter is interested in students serious about their desire to learn. Frequent late cancellations and/or "no-shows" break the continuity of our work, hinder learning, and cost us greatly. We are able to operate on a pay-as-you-go basis because we have the cooperation of our parents and students. Even if you pay the ten dollar fee for a late cancellation or "no-show," we still lose a sizable amount of money, and students on our waiting list have been denied the opportunity to come -- because of the absence of sufficient time to notify.
We ask that parents of high school students who drive themselves to the Lamplighter monitor the individual student's attendance and pay by check, not cash. These precautions will help us greatly and enable us to remain inexpensive and flexible in meeting your needs.
Thank you very much.
Vivian Franz, Director

Dr. Franz recommends these books, all of which are normally stocked at the Lamplighter.:
- To Read or Not to Read by Daphne M. Hurford.
Paperback.
Copyright 1998. ISBN 0-684-85541-0. Excellent book on dyslexia.
Written for parents or teachers. This book is a must.
- Children: The Challenge by Rudolf Dreikurs, M.D. with
Vickie Stolz, R.N.
ISBN 0452266556. This book was written years ago, but is still an important book. It
applies largely to elementary school years.
- Guiding the Gifted Child: A Practical Source for Parents and Teachers by James T. Webb, Ph.D., Elizabeth A. Meckstroth, M.S., and Stephanie S. Tolan, M.A.

- The Well-Trained Mind by Susan Wise Bauer and Jessie Wise.
Copyright 1999. ISBN 03930-5927-8. The subtitle is "A Guide to Classical Education at Home," and while this is primarily intended for homeschooling families, it is valuable for any parents who assist in their children's education. At present it is available only in hardcover, so parents may wish to check their local libraries.
