Fall 2015

Let them play! Better yet, encourage them to play! From the time our kids are babies, they use play to learn. At Community Education, we work to integrate play (and fun!) into as many of our programs as possible. Hands-on learning is our goal. Our programming offers unique, cost-effective, and convenient opportunities for children and youth to try programs and potentially develop a new (or renewed) passion for a new activity. We’re a great point of entry for trying something different. The cost is affordable, and the commitments are short, the programs are offered within the comfort and safety of your children’s schools, and as parents, you are making an investment in learning that is secure under our satisfaction guarantee. Encourage your kids to sign up, we’ll work hard to make sure they’re learning while they play! Play on, Carrie Dobie Youth Programs Coordinator

Gooney Bird Greene and her fabulous animal parade with Child’s Play Theatre (1st-8th Grade) Theatre is a great opportunity for students to develop many life skills. Mrs. Pidgeon has just begun a unit on Aesop’s Fables when the classroom door opens and Gooney Bird Greene bursts into the room. The Watertower Animal Shelter is about to close due to lack of funds, she announces! What will happen to all the poor little dogs and cats? “I know!” says Gooney Bird with her wonderful sense of adventure. “Let’s create our own fables right here in class, Mrs. Pidgeon, and then perform them as a fundraiser for the animal shelter. We can each create a story using an animal that matches our own initial.” Mrs. Pidgeon agrees to the stories, but only if they have morals like Aesop’s Fables do. And so Gooney Bird and her classmates set about creating their own flamboyant fables. The instructor will assign roles based on observations of your participation in acting games on the first day of class. Additional fees are charged to attend performances ($5 per attendee per show).
