Drake University is still registering children for its annual Foreign Language for the Young summer program. The program offers children ages 4 through 14 the opportunity to learn a new language and explore the culture and traditions of France, Germany, Spain and Mexico.

The program begins Monday, June 9, and continues through July 3. Classes will meet Monday through Friday in Meredith Hall, just north of Olmsted Center at 29th Street and University Avenue. The German and French classes will meet from 9 to 10 a.m. and the Spanish classes will meet from 10 to 11 a.m.
