Friday Focus - Special Communication to Parents
This week I would like to highlight the Community Education Department of District 214. I have been amazed at the number and variety of daytime, evening, and online classes offered through community education. I wish I could take one every session! I have taken a Community Ed. course myself (kayaking), I continue to tell my own friends to look into this! Here are just a few of the HUNDREDS of options this spring:
- Intro to Guitar

- 2D and 3D art
- Computer IT
- All kinds of Cooking classes
- Finance and Law classes
- Zumba/ Pilates/ Yoga
- Scuba Diving
- Net Sports

Community ed offers an incredible variety of options - 84 pages worth in this brochure:
