April 27

Parks bring tremendous benefits to the community, environment, and economy. Great parks and programs help build stronger community, connecting individuals, families, and groups through the power of play. Parks provide a place to keep kids active and off the streets.

All of these are great reasons to come to a designated park and celebrate Earth Day, Arbor Day, National Parks Week, National Volunteer Week, and your local parks in one fun event.

Be part of a major county-wide effort with nearly 2,000 other people working in their local parks at the same time.

Saturday, April 27, 2019 9:00 am -12 noon

Come prepared with gloves, tools, and weather appropriate clothing, to cut, pull, plant, and haul. We will be hosting work parties at Spanaway Park, Parkland Prairie and Orangegate Park. For additional locations, check out the www.parksappreciationday.net after April 1.

If your group of 10 or more people interested in “appreciating” a different Pierce County park site near you on April 27, contact Jenn at 253-798-4148 or jenn.sergent@piercecountywa.gov by March 29. www.piercecountywa.gov/parks

Beginning skaters should register for Beginning 1 class.

Pre-Skate and Beginning skaters are evaluated during the first two weeks and placed in the appropriate class level. At the end of the 8 or 9 week session, skaters will be tested and may earn a ribbon/ patch before advancing to the next level.

Pre-Registration is required. There must be at least 6 skaters in order to hold a class, otherwise the class may be canceled or combined with other levels when possible.

Program Cost: $90.00 (9 wks) $80.00 (8 wks) Saturdays $15.00 ISI Membership*

It is recommended that returning skaters wait to register after their skills test on the last day of class.

The program cost includes admission to the public session (on day of lesson only), skate rental, instructional fee, testing fee, ribbon or patch, and a pass good for two complimentary admissions to any regualr price public skating session. *ISI Membership: Required for All Learn To Skate Participants.

Session 1 participants will need to renew/join ISI. Membership card or number is required for returning skaters at the time of registration for Sessions 2 and 3.

As a member of ISI, students receive an ISI membership card, online quarterly magazine, secondary insurance and nationally registered skills tests. Allow 4-6 weeks from session start date for membership benefits to become effective (i.e. secondary medical coverage). As students progress the various levels, they have the opportunity to experience local, district and national competitions available to skaters of all ages, starting with the beginner’s basic Alpha test and ranging upward to the highest tests. These competitions are non-qualifying events. Emphasis is placed on participation and enjoyment.
