Shannon Russell. Children ages 5-12 will enjoy this class as we explore the world of yoga. Kid’s yoga does not mean a watered down version of adult yoga. It is not! I use a curriculum (and I am certified in it) called Yoga Calm (website is yogacalm.org), that is designed for children, and is able to adapt to different ages. Children not only gain physical skills in flexibility, strength, and balance, but they experience teamwork, leadership (they help me teach), calmness, self-confidence, and improved focus and attention. This is a great way to introduce your child to yoga and have so much fun maybe you will want to join in too. No class on Nov 28. Rec Center. Thu Thu

Yoga Calm®  

4 wks

Taught by Shannon Russell, certified classroom teacher with 15 years experience, certified Yoga Calm ® instructor, and RYT 200. Children grades K-6 will enjoy this class as we integrate yoga poses with games and relaxation activities. Each class focuses on a theme: stillness, listening, grounding, strength, and community. Yoga Calm ® (yogacalm.org), is designed specifically for children, to improve not only physical skills in flexibility, strength, body awareness, and balance, but social emotional skills: teamwork, leadership (they help me teach), calmness, self-confidence, and improved focus and attention. This is a great way to introduce your child to yoga and have so much fun, maybe you will want to join in too. Class size is limited, so register today. Please bring a yoga mat; there are a few available if you do not own one. No class Nov 27/28. Pearson Elem

Grade 5 Shannon Schroeder. Help get your 5th grader ready for the Science MSP. This club will explore the properties of water through a fun, hands-on, project based approach to encourage student problem solving and team building.

During each session we will perform science experiments in small groups of 2 to 4 students. The informal setting and small class size provides an opportunity for an interactive and in-depth science learning experience. Shannon Schroeder holds a Masters degree in Environmental Science and an enthusiasm for engaging youth in science.

Coaches, Coaches, Coaches! It’s never been more important! Families,

community, and individuals joining together for our young people.

This is quality time for our young people. They are practicing physical and mental skills, interacting with their peers and adults in a healthy atmosphere and learning the ability to compete towards a goal as part of a team and as an individual. Call Joe at Parks and Rec, (360) 731-1938, for more information on this valuable opportunity.

Summer Instructor Employment Opportunities!!

Our sailing program uses US Sailing certified instructors for their summer camps. Those instructors routinely come from our sailing team and our community. If you are interested in teaching summer camps, and have or have the desire to complete the US Sailing instructor qualifications, please call Joe at Parks & Rec at (360) 731-1938.
