SPANISH IMMERSION LIL’ LEARNERS PRESCHOOL

Age 3-5 Must be of age by September 1, 2017 Research shows that total immersion is the best way for children to develop a long lasting foundation in the Spanish language. 90% of instruction will be in Spanish and 10% in English. The classes are designed to spark and maintain children’s interest in Spanish by engaging them in creative and enjoyable cultural activities such as dancing, singing, literature, art and games. Through immersion, children will learn the Spanish language naturally and easily as they master basic pre-school skills.

MAKE YOUR OWN MUSTARD

with Kelly McVicker, www.mcvickerpickles.com Mad for mustard? Fawn over French’s? Pay top-dollar for Dijon?

Then this is the class for you!

Join Kelly McVicker of McVicker Pickles as she teaches the secrets to creating homemade mustard that will make you swear off the squeeze bottle for good.

THE ART OF PICKLING

You’ll learn why some mustards are sinus-clearingly hot, and why others are mild and mellow. Kelly will discuss flavor pairings that go well together and explain how different mixing techniques create different textures. Each student will then get to mix their own custom mustard choosing from an assortment of seeds, spices and herbs.

Beer and wine are classic mustard bases, so we’ll have plenty of both to use in our creations.

Every student will leave class with two jars of their own custom mustard, plus more recipes for continued mustard making at home.

Supplies needed: OPTIONAL: bring a bottle of your favorite beer to use as a base for your mustard. All other ingredients and jars for your mustard creations will be provided in class. $70 / $59 Resident Discount

GET READY! LET US SHOW YOU HOW! Group, Club, Business, Home Owners Association, Neighborhood or Team. Schedule a FREE class today.

In an effort to better prepare our community for potential disasters, the Fire Department will be conducting free “Are You Ready” training classes. This one to two hour presentation will provide valuable information on topics such as: • Creating a family/office disaster plan Assembling home/office and portable disaster supply kit • • Sheltering in place Evacuation procedures • • Preparing for and responding to specific disasters Since we can only do our best to prevent man-made disasters and terrorism, and since we certainly can’t control “mother-nature”, it’s only a matter of time before a minor or major incident occurs in or around our immediate area. When a disaster happens and Police, Fire and Emergency Services are overwhelmed, will you be prepared to care for yourself, family, friends and neighbors?

In all places, home, work or school, it pays to be ready and prepared to deal with all types of natural and man-made disasters. Here on the Peninsula, we are subject to power outages, earthquakes, fires, floods, severe storms, extreme heat, gas leaks, plane crashes, disease and/or flu pandemics, and a host of other possible situations. The potential for an act of terror adds yet another dimension to disaster awareness and preparedness.

Training is offered at the Fire Station or at your location, to neighborhoods, schools, businesses, and community groups of 20 or more.

Participants should have 2+ years of work experience with Taia Ergueta who has led marketing, mergers and acquisitions, and other functions with worldwide responsibility. She has a particular passion for tackling tough strategic decisions and creating inspirational work environments.

Gaining influence is always valuable, but doing so at work is especially important! Women who don’t understand how to influence at work often feel stressed and/or financially insecure. Women who master the art of workplace influence can generate a stream of opportunities for themselves. As you strive to reach your full potential and be recognized fairly, you face particular challenges not faced by men.

In addition, many of the tactics recommended for getting ahead work for men, but actually backfire when women apply them. This workshop will give working women insight and experience with 7 “influence platforms” that can drive new levels of job success.

The dog is taught to move freely and easily with the collar, so one day you barely have to use it! The dog is also taught to perform things and to willingly do or not do things, not just be prevented from doing them. Verbal and/or physical praise from owner is given. This builds a relationship between owner and dog. Any specific problems you are having will be addressed and cured in class or by a lifestyle change at home.

You will need a 6 foot comfortable leash. Instructor will supply the nylon collar.

Release with Thomas Hanna Somatic movements. Learn how to let go of patterns of discomfort, beginning with small, easily learned, repetitive moves which help create new pathways for sensory awareness and fluid movement. As muscular contractions are released, the tissue lengthens and softens. The sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous symptoms come into balance resulting in deep relaxation. Relaxation is a state in which there is no movement, no effort; the mind is quiet. Leave the class feeling fully restored.
