(How can we get information about these types of programs noticed by students your age?)

For you and your family, what timing works best for a 2-hour evening program like this:

(Mark all that apply.)

5:30-7:30 PM (current program time)
6:00-8:00 PM (30 min later start time)
6:30-8:30 PM (1 hour later start time)
7:00-9:00 PM (1 1/2 hours later start time)
I would prefer the program be offered on weekends, NOT weeknights
