Community Ed has nearly 80 classes
September 03, 2015

Just as children are returning to school comes the return to Community Education with the release of the fall classes catalogue.  Some old favorites are back but the list of nearly 80 classes includes some first-time offerings which are bound to be very popular.

     “We are very happy with the classes we have this fall and we are confident the community will be, too,” said Amy Poley, Director of Community Education.  “It doesn’t matter if you want to keep fit with some of our exercise classes, learn a new hobby or want to check out some of our special programs, we strive to have something to appeal to almost every interest.”

     Among the nearly 80 classes that are available are 12 arts and crafts, 12 special programs, 10 fitness and recreation, 10 children’s-related offerings, eight sewing and needlecraft and six water-related classes.

     Back again this fall are belly dancing, digital camera and homemade herbal remedies, as well as kickboxing/bootcamp, Tai Chi, aqua dancercise, crocheting, knitting, sewing and a taste of preschool and other classes, too.  The drop-in swim at Monroe Middle School has been changed to make it even more popular, flexible and affordable.

     New offerings this fall term include simple ways to manage diabetes, CPR/AED and first aid, and a discover scuba diving experience.

     “The discover scuba diving experience is a one-night class which is offered five times during October so people who always have wondered about scuba diving can check it out to see if they might want to pursue it further,” Mrs. Poley said.

     All classes must be prepaid and there are various ways to register.  Phone registrations are accepted by using Visa, Mastercard or Discover only at 734-265-3170.  You can register by mail by completing the registration form in the catalogue and sending it with a check or money order made payable to Monroe Public Schools and mailing it to Community Education, 1275 N. Macomb St., Monroe, MI  48162.  Registrations will be taken in person at the Community Education office from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., daily.

     Persons who may not have received a catalogue can pick one up at the Community Education office at the Monroe Public Schools Administration Building.  It is also is displayed on line on the Monroe Public Schools website at http://monroepublic.cyberschool.com/files/user/506/file/MPS%20Fall%202015%20-%20revised(1).pdf
