Living your Best…

Have you ever experienced writer’s block? Personally, I battle this each and every quarter as I try to figure out what to write in my Director’s message to this community. I know these messages aren’t necessarily written with the idea that it can change the world, but maybe it can change a small part of your world. It is my hope to give a little inspiration so that each of you and your families can enjoy a life with recreation and of course the arts in this community.

I read a quote recently that said, “We have just one life. Live your life to the fullest, give your best in everything, do what you love, regret and fear nothing.” I believe that living your best life isn’t determined by the seasons, but what inspires you to live whether it be friends, family or your favorite class or special event here in Town.

Through a small town atmosphere and an outstanding quality of life we provide an opportunity for you to live your best life through growth and enrichment opportunities. These opportunities are meant to be delighted in and help you to live to the fullest.

I invite you to learn about our Town’s programs by exploring this Activity Guide. Find an activity that inspires you to live in a way that lets you be your best. Another option would be for you to come and join us at the 9th Annual Recreation Expo on Saturday, February 11. However you choose, come enjoy your community by discovering new interests and meeting new people through the Town’s programs and events.

Middle school is an excellent time to start learning about money management! It helps in creating a foundation for students to become financially independent in the future. Since there are no courses about financial literacy in our K–12 curriculum, and it is an essential skill to have, students must seek supplement education. Our personal finance series is the solution. This module covers how to spend and save wisely, how to apply strategies to monitor income and expenses, and how to plan to spend or save for future goals.
