CONTINUING EDUCATION
Classes galore offered through Community Ed Whether you’re a visitor with an extended stay in the Texas Hill Country or a local resident looking to broaden their horizons, Fredericksburg Independent School District’s Community Education program just might have the program you’re looking for. What is there to do? Among the classes are hunter’s education, country-and-western dancing, dog obedience, Zumba and yoga and ceramics. Summer camp classes for kids have proven to be very popular. Among them: Rockets, art, cooking, theater, tennis, volleyball, football and Lonestar hoops. “We also offer a once-a-month, afterschool baking and craft class at Fredericksburg Elementary School that is extremely popular,” said Community Education director Carol Reeh. “Community Education organizes the Little Billies Basketball League for boys and girls in grades five and six, that is held in January and February each year.” Reeh said community education is popular due to the variety of classes offered, ranging from computers to dance, sign language, financial planning, creative writing exercise, crafts and more—and the reasonable prices. The idea is to make classes as affordable as possible so that everyone has the chance for lifelong learning. This season there will be new classes offered in community education. Among them are selfimprovement books.

Reeh added: “I am always open to new class ideas and new instructors. Anything that might spark someone’s interest.” Community education brochures are mailed to everyone that has a physical address or post office box in Fredericksburg, Stonewall and Harper. They are also mailed to people on the center’s supplemental mailing list. That list consists of people who have called or e-mailed, requesting a copy and who live in Kerrville, Johnson City, Llano, Mason, Comfort, San Antonio, the Woodlands, and more other areas. Copies are available at the Fredericksburg Chamber of Commerce, Memorial Library, local banks, RV parks, and, also, the Mason and Kerrville Libraries. The Fall 2013 brochure should be out the week of Sept. 3, right after labor day. For more information, contact Reeh at 830-997-7182 or e-mail her at carolr@fisd.org.
