The Spring Enrichment Program features interesting new courses taking place both indoors and outdoors. Registrations for all spring courses are now open through Friday, April 7th. Courses will begin right after Spring Break.
Here’s a look at three new courses being offered:
Learning to Code with Ozobots (Wednesdays, Grades 2-7)
High school technology teacher Carol Bahruth will lead this course geared to get students comfortable with coding these fascinating, tiny robots. Students can advance from basic color-coding to intermediate image programming.
Carol has extensive experience in robotics and infinite patience and dedication to teaching new technology concepts to students all ages and levels of experience.
Garden and Nature Exploration (Wednesdays, K- Grade 5)
Fourth Grade teacher, Hannah Sunshine will lead students in outdoor adventures in nature. Planting, decorating flowerpots, and creating art with natural materials are some of the activities planned. Students will spend time cultivating their love of nature.
Hannah explains:
“Inspired by my own positive experiences outdoors as a child, I have been working to connect children with nature in a variety of settings over the years. This has included helping run an environmental club, a community garden, leading hikes and camping trips at summer camps, and valuing opportunities to learn and play outdoors at school.”
What better way to let the Sunshine in!
Yoga for Adults (Fridays)
Parents, Faculty and Staff are all are invited to attend this course. No previous experience is required, just a willingness to unwind, refresh and breathe!
In this course you will learn the master breathing technique and meditative sequences of postures, called Vinyasas. This is a mixed level class, open to beginners and to those who may already have a practice and want to get back to the basics.
