Community School News
New Programming

- Back to the Kitchen (cooking club) started this week! U of M Extension runs this on Thursdays.
- Young Chefs will start 1/16 and run on Wednesdays.

- Somali Culture club is starting 1/14 with Mohamed Mohamed.
- I have the wrestling room booked from 1/22-3/14. I have all four gyms booked from 2/25-3/14. I am looking for someone to lead some sort of sports club in the big gyms for those three weeks. The wrestling room will be used for a once or twice a week club and for kids who participate in their clubs, they can come down around 4/4:15 to play.
Current Programming
- Let's start calling the after-school clubs, Falcons After School. Community School clubs will just be called enrichment clubs. This might give it a different feel with students and parents.
- Monday clubs: River Bend, Coding, Robotics, Art with Canfield, Zumba. FDC is hopefully purchasing a used robotics mat for our kids.
- Tuesday clubs: Art, Coding, Ukulele, Homework Help, Space Club (STEAM). Buckham Library bought ukuleles for our kids to check out and bring home!
- Wednesday clubs: 3D Printing, Coding, Art with Canfield, Yoga, Hand Sewing. Buckham Library bought a 3D printer for this club! It's stored in my office if you want to come see.
- Thursday clubs: Art, Coding, TOP, Homework Help, Space, Hand Sewing, Back to the Kitchen.
Partnerships
- Brent and April will be hosting some Falcons for Change activities after school - planning, crafting, etc. We are also in the process of setting up a monthly BINGO field trip to an assisted living facility in town and an FMSC field trip.
