NOI Bimbi Fall 2014 Update!

Noi Bimbi Meet & Greet will be on Zoom on Friday September 6 at 6PM. An email invite will be sent to all parents of registered students.

Based on pre-registrations, the NOI Bimbi classes are now full, space is only available in Panda 2.
Some more slots in Orsetti or Koala might be available after August 15, in case pre-registrations are not confirmed. To be placed on a waiting list, please send email to noi@ilpuntoseattle.org 

See the  NOI Bimbi registration page for updates. 

For Fall we are introducing a few changes: 

• A new teacher for the youngest group - Lara Bucca will be the new Orsetti teacher. Lara heads from Treviso (Italy) and has been working with kids for over 19 years and specializes in toddlers teaching. Lara is a certified Waldorf teacher and also manages an Italian daycare.
• Daniela Balestra will be the returning teacher for the Koala (beginner to intermediate), Panda 1 and Panda 2 groups (intermediate). Daniela is from Milan and has extensive experience teaching language classes to children and is very passionate of her work. 
• All classes will be in the morning

Biblioteca Italiana Seattle (BIS) now open!  

Thanks to all the people who came to the inauguration! the Biblioteca page has been updated and you can find information there about the new setup and how to see the catalog of available books. Libray page.

The library will be open Saturdays 10-12. 

We are also looking for volunteers to assist with the BIS. To volunteer to staff the library, please sign up here.

We have a range of ways to volunteer. One area we'd love more volunteers is to help coordinate in-person or virtual events, classes and initiatives.

We are especially looking for a volunteer coordinator and class moderators for our very popular Italian Conversation classes.
