The students and staff at Perryville High School have been offering FREE computer assistance classes to community members during the months of February, March and April.

Classes are offered every Tuesday in the Perryville High School Library from 3:30-5:00 p.m. and 5:30-7:00 p.m. during the months of February, March and April.

Participants are given a chance to hear instruction on a particular subject, review what they might already know and practice their computer/technology skills.

"Attendance has been very good," said Candyce Giesler, Perryville High School Librarian. "I think we have helped those attending to get a better understanding of their computers and to operate them more efficiently. We still have several openings in the classes held from 5:30- 7:00 p.m. Anyone interested in attending can call the school to reserve a spot. There are 18 computers available in the library so we encourage people to call early and make their reservations. However, if you have your own laptop and want to bring it along, that's great. We'll work with you to answer any questions you might have. Also, don't forget to bring photos and cell phones in April for the photo and cell phone sessions."

The remaining scheduled topics are:

March 16 - Wood Processing Basics and Practice

March 23 - Word Processing Basics and Practice

March 30 - Overview of software programs

April 6 - Organizing and storing photos on-line (bring photos!)

April 13 - Editing Photos (bring photos!)

April 20 - Make a PhotoStory

April 27 - Basic Cell Phone Use (be sure to bring your cell phone!)
