FORECASTING FUN… Dear Danville, As I look upon the upcoming season, I cannot help but be The weather outside is frightful or quite delightful, depending on the day or time here in Northern California. But, regardless of the weather outside, we are still forecasting some fun here in Danville.

The fun in the winter typically comes with a transition from outdoor activities to indoor activities. However, in the current health crisis, we continue to provide a balance between indoor and outdoor fun. Our classes, programs, and events will continue to be offered safely while adhering to current health guidelines.

Don’t let the winter blues and the comfort of inactivity bring in the clouds. Instead, be active and bring out the sun and the fun through a life filled with visits to our parks, recreating with us, and appreciating the arts.

You are all invited to check out the weather and fun forecast as you flip through the pages of our current activity guide. Another option would be for you to come and join us in person at the 12th Annual Recreation Expo and Open House on Saturday, February 26, 2022. We will be live, bringing the fun at the Danville Community Center, Senior Center, and Village Theatre to showcase our programs and service.

Remember that today’s forecast is fuuuuuuuuun!

We will focus on the social and emotional well-being of each child and make connections at circle time with music and stories. We will have art and hands-on activities that expose children to math concepts and language skills. All of this will be done in a nurturing environment where each child is seen, heard and valued. This will be accomplished with a small teacher/student ratio of 1:4. Your child is invited to bring lunch from home to share in a mealtime with friends.

WINTER WINTER SNOWBALL LAUNCHER STEM ACTIVITY All you need to get started with this super simple STEM activity is a few basic supplies you can find around the house.

SUPPLIES • Balloons • Hot glue gun and glue sticks (you can also try duct tape or any other heavy-duty tape) • Small plastic cup

STEPS

I N V VL LO OI N H H S SI

1. First, you will want to cut the bottom out of the plastic cup, but leave the rim for strength or else the cup will crumple. This is a good step for the adults to do and can be prepped ahead of time for larger groups!

Make sure to trim off any jagged edges.

2. Next, you want to tie a knot in the neck of a balloon.

3. Then you want to go ahead and cut the end off the balloon. (not the knotted end!)

4. Once you have that done, you will want to either tape or glue the balloon to the bottom (where you have cut the hole) of the cup.

5. Be safe and have yourself a fun outdoor (or indoor) snowball party!

COURSE CANCELLATION When registration falls below the minimum enrollment required, it may be necessary to cancel a class or program. At the time of cancellation, the Town will initiate a full refund. Check refunds may take 4–6 weeks.

Whenever possible, make-ups will be given on those occasions when inclement weather or instructor illness requires that a class be cancelled. See instructor at next scheduled meeting for make-up date.

No refunds (whole or partial) can be given for classes missed by the student.

WAITLISTS Waitlists will be created once a class has reached maximum enrollment. If space becomes available, you will be called.

The program and facility fees cover a large portion of the actual costs, though Town of Danville residents also partially support the classes, events and facilities through their property tax assessments.
