Letter from the Recreation Department

Even with the shorter and colder days, winter is a great time to keep active or try a new activity. Whether it be getting back into shape after the holidays with Michelle Fahy’s awesome fitness classes, achieving a peaceful state of mind and body with Heidi Kassner’s Yoga Flow, or getting groovy with On The Barre Dance Studio, Sharon Rec has you covered! This winter we have a variety of classes and programs happening at the Sharon Community Center for people of all ages. We’re also excited to have our Recreation Basketball program back for the 2021-22 season. A special thank you goes out to all of our wonderful volunteers and staff who make this program possible for our young players throughout Sharon. Sincerely, Frank Livera Assistant Recreation Director

Children are the leaders of tomorrow. Present them with the opportunity to feel self-reliant and confident in any social situation by taking interactive lessons taught by a certified etiquette consultant. Our workshop is designed to empower them with life skills that propel them towards personal and professional success. These skills will help them succeed at school, socially, and later, professionally and can create an appealing differentiator that sets them apart. Our lessons aim to instill social consideration and mutual respect as we believe that when children are taught these basic social skills in their early years, they tend to become more socially responsible as they grow up. To survive the rising social pressure, children must be trained in a way to feel confident and comfortable around people and to find their place in the world. Topics Include: The importance of greeting others, rules of introduction, the handshake, eye contact, and the power of a smile, sportsmanship etiquette, hygiene and appearance, self-respect and respect for others, behaving appropriately at other people’s homes, making appropriate conversation, proper telephone etiquette, writing thank you notes, and other modern manners.

Student Parking Passes

Starting August 17th, you can purchase school year 2021-2022 student parking passes for $125 each. Fee will be reduced to $75 if purchased after February 15th (or when weather conditions allow). These passes allow students to park in the Veteran’s Memorial Park Beach parking lot during the 2021-2022 school year. Passes will be valid from August 28th until the end of school year. Availability of the parking lot at the end of the calendar year is based on weather conditions. The parking lot gates may be closed if weather conditions render parking in the lot too difficult, as the lot is not plowed. Each pass will list one vehicle.
