The Renaud Spirit Center Preschool makes getting ready for kindergarten fun Give kids ages 3–5 a great start on kindergarten by enrolling them in the Renaud Spirit Center’s Preschool.

At the RSC Preschool our qualified, friendly instructors will encourage a love of learning through hands-on science experiments, nurture artistic talent through arts and crafts, help kids develop basic math and language arts skills and encourage kids to share their interests through show-and-tell. Kids also will have a great time socializing through puppet play and dress-up. A new, exciting theme is offered each week, and seasons and holidays are celebrated with parties, games and songs. A daily snack is served, which kids sometimes help prepare.

RSC Preschool is open Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 8:15 a.m. – 12:15 p.m. Four 12-week sessions are offered per school year, with a choice of M/W/F or M/W sessions. For more information, turn to page 25.

Mike Doran

Danielle Froelich

RSC Member since January 2009

RSC Member since December 2010

I live in O’Fallon with my wife, Tammy, and our sevenyear-old son. I work in St. Louis doing radio and voiceover, so for the most part, my job keeps me sitting down inside a studio.

I’ve always loved playing sports. For five years, I was a competitive gymnast before I decided to put all my focus on softball. I play second base and outfield as well as pinch run for other players, so I have to be light on my feet. My workouts only consisted of cardio and abs until I met Kyle Armstrong, a 17-year-old, 5’10”, 190 lb. body builder who taught me how to lift. Cardio is great and I still do a ton of it, but lifting is what makes you stronger and shapes your muscles. Going to the gym is a family event. My parents drop the kids off at the RSC Kids’ Korner and meet me upstairs!

Mike’s Fitness Plan: The RSC is a main component in keeping me active.

I’ve always been in pretty decent shape, but my fitness activity fluctuates up and down. When Tammy and I participated in Coach Angela’s winning Spring Training Challenge team, I was able to lose more than 25 pounds.

Now, with a quality nutrition and fitness schedule, I feel as if we’re making real lifestyle changes and keeping our focus on long-term success.

Usually, I plan a mix of free weights and cardio workouts. However, during the Spring Training Challenge, I switched to primarily cardio with the rowing machine (ouch, double ouch!) and the Crossramp, although I’m still lifting weights a couple days a week. To prepare food, I am now weighing meat, eating a lot of veggies, and avoiding my mortal enemy, the between-meal snack. I try to hit the RSC early mornings during the week, and usually take the weekends off.

What motivates Mike: Maybe some of you saw me hauled out of the RSC in an ambulance last summer (ah, the memories). If that’s not a wake-up call, I don’t know what is. A battery of tests revealed no heart issues (my head, that’s a different story). But blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol were all starting to creep up on me, and I was getting prescriptions lobbed at me. I’d been as healthy as could be most of my life, but my 40s, along with undisciplined diet and exercise, were starting to take their toll.

Mike’s advice to others: Pack your lunch for work, get a calorie app, work hard for your days off... and then enjoy your days off!

Danielle’s fitness plan: I eat clean and work out five days a week with two days of rest. Monday is chest, Tuesday is back, Wednesday is legs, Thursday is shoulders and Friday is arms. Legs are my favorite work out, so I usually train those again on Sunday.

What motivates Danielle: I’m very petite like my mom, who is only 4’11” and 90 lbs. When I turned 16 in February 2012, I was 5’1” tall and weighed 102 lbs. In February 2013, I was still 5’1”, but now I’m about 112 lbs. and ten times stronger. My main motivation is to be stronger than people bigger than me and to keep gaining muscle weight until I’m 120 lbs.

Danielle’s advice to others: Eat “clean” and prepare food ahead of time, so you don’t end up picking up fast food!

Official weigh-ins will be held the first and last weeks of the program.

The final weigh-in will be held on Monday, December 16, at 9-10 a.m. and 7-8 p.m.

Participants will be responsible for reporting their weekly activity levels and weight via email.

With so much hype about nutritional supplements and their claims about weight loss and increased energy, just to name just a couple, it’s hard for many consumers to pick out and understand the truth! Let pharmacist Kim Hoff help you determine which supplements may be right for you and how much is safe to take. This FREE lecture will help you to become more informed about supplement use and purchasing – never be fooled again!!

On the first Wednesday of every month from 6–7 p.m., meet Dr. Scott Grogan, a board-certified Chiropractic Physician, by the desk in the fitness center for answers to your health and fitness-related questions. Dr. Grogan graduated from Logan College of Chiropractic in 2011, and then earned a Masters of Sports Science and Rehabilitation from Logan in 2012. Dr. Grogan also completed his full body certification in Active Release Technique in 2011, giving him a unique approach to the treatment of patients by addressing not only the joints but the surrounding soft-tissue as well.

Dr. Grogan utilizes the “joint-by-joint” approach to patient care, which emphasizes the impact that the kinetic chain (ankles, knees, hips, shoulders etc.) can have on the entire body.

Through functional analysis Dr. Grogan will locate the true dysfunction and source of the problem to arrive at an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan. Through mobilization of the joints and by placing a heavy emphasis on soft-tissue treatment and rehabilitation, his goal is to provide fast, effective care and empower patients to take control of their own health.

Dr. Grogan has a passion for athletics. He is very involved with the Crossfit community, and he has both competed with and treated competition teams. He’s also served as the team physician for community college athletics, American Legion baseball, and for the Ballwin Race Series.

Mike Phelps September 13 – October 25 Medium: painting Artist Mike Phelps, who recently moved to O’Fallon, is a landscape painter who enjoys plein-air painting events and teaching watercolor and oil painting.

Like most artists, Mike can trace his love for art to an early age. Growing up, he took art classes wherever he lived: California, the Pacific Northwest, and Australia. But he didn’t become a painter until after a career in the U.S. Air Force and work as a chaplain for a hospital in western Tennessee. To de-stress, he took a water coloring course, and kept on painting. Today he is an accredited Dorothy Dent instructor with a colorful body of work on his website, www. mikephelpsfineart.com.

Question: What do you do with a young child who’s been bitten by a zombie? Answer: If you’re the Greenwood family, you bandage her up and lock her in the coat closet.

This play about zombies is part scary, part comedy, definitely tongue-in-cheek and totally fun. Trapped in a remote farmhouse in 1950s Indiana during the spread of a strange new virus, the Greenwoods and their neighbors find themselves in danger of being eaten by crazed victims. As they board the windows and take up arms, this small band of survivors must decide what to do about the child kicking in the closet and the friends banging at their door. If they want to avoid turning into monsters and save their very souls, their only hope is to remain calm.

Learn to Swim O

’Fallon’s Learn to Swim program is built on teaching aquatic and safety skills in a logical progression. Our goal is to teach children and adults how to swim and be safe in and around the water.

The program is composed of 11 course levels:

Aqua Learning: Level: Preschool: Preschool Plus: Level 1: Level 2: Level 3: Level 4: Level 5: Level 6: Level:

Shrimp I and II Pollywog Turtle Seahorse Explorer Submarine Clipper Sailor Adventurer Barracuda Adult

Aqua Learning: Parent and child participation is required.

Class size is limited to eight parent-child couples.

Which class is right for my child?

To ensure your child’s success in the Learn to Swim Program, it’s important to register children for the appropriate level.

Children who have participated in the swimming program should register according to the last class successfully completed. Each child must pass a particular level before proceeding to the next.

Aqua Learning This program helps children ages 6 months to 3 years become comfortable in and around water and prepares them to learn how to swim. The class is divided into two sections: Shrimp I and Shrimp II. NOTE: Classes may seem repetitive because they are introductions to water.

Shrimp I • Ages 6 – 18 months

Levels 4 – 6: Class ratio is eight children to one instructor.

Parent-child or guardian participation in the water is required.

The instructor will demonstrate techniques as parents learn how to safely guide children and help them advance at their own pace.

Adult: Class ratio is eight adults to one instructor.

Morning Classes

Pollywog: Class ratio is four to one instructor. Parents are required to be in the water the first four classes.

37309 36042 38304 38313 38303

Preschool – Level 3: Class ratio is six children to one instructor.

Participants will move to the next class or skill level when all skills from the previous level are mastered. Some classes may seem repetitive, but we want swimmers to perfect their skills in order to advance safely. Please keep in mind that children learn at different paces and it’s common to repeat a class.

Weekday classes at the RSC meet twice weekly for four weeks and last 35 minutes. Saturday morning sessions last 40 minutes and meet for seven weeks.
