Parents and students learn English at free summer program at PS 5

A free five-week program at P.S. 5 is designed to teach kindergarteners, first-graders and their parents English.
Administrators say the free summer language course is vital to the community because half of the student body is from other countries. 
For the first time, the program also offers English classes to Arabic, Japanese and Mandarin speakers.
Once a week, the group takes a field trip to apply their English skills outside the classroom.
