The classes will be held for preschool, kindergarten and home-schooled children of all ability levels ages three to 14. Classes will run from 1:20 p.m. until 2:15 p.m. each Tuesday from Oct. 1 through Nov. 26, excluding Nov. 5, in the Events and Athletics Center.
The program encompasses a complete physical education curriculum with activities in aquatics, basic skills, character, fitness, games and sports, gymnastics, outdoor living skills, rhythm and dance, safety and wellness.
