Green Halloween Once Halloween is over, give your compost a boost with your old pumpkins, the straw you used to build scarecrows and any other organic material for great, nutrient rich soil in the spring.

Give Your Herbs Shelter In late fall bring your summer herbs indoors to enjoy fresh basil, mint, and rosemary throughout the winter months. It takes a few weeks to transition herbs to indoor living, so start before the weather turns.

Santa Visits

Sunday, Dec 4

Wednesday & Thursday, Dec 14 & 15

All Aboard! Come along on our annual train ride for a reading of the children’s classic story ‘Polar Express’.

Bring a copy of the book and read along with us if you wish. We will ride from the Roselle train station to the ‘North Pole’ (Elgin/Big Timber). Santa will then join us on the train for the ride back to Roselle and sing holiday songs with us. Once we are back at the station, Santa will have plenty of time to visit with each child and hear their holiday wishes. Refreshments will be served and each child will receive a small keepsake. A parent or guardian must accompany children on the train and adults will also need to be pre-registered for this event.

Please arrive 20 minutes prior to departure and parking is available. The deadline for registration is Nov 1.

Why wait in line at the shopping mall to sit on Santa’s lap when Santa can come see you? Surprise a child with a visit from Santa right to your house. Santa will arrive in his ‘custom’ RV and listen to your child’s holiday wish list inside the RV! Due to his heavy schedule, Santa will stay for five minutes in front of each house and will only be able to visit with immediate family members. You will need to be available 5:30 to 8:00PM so Santa finds you at home. Please register by November 25 as Santa has many children to visit and will need to know his schedule early! Santa visits are open only to residents of the Carol Stream Park District. Santa Visits are sponsored

by Hometown RV, located right here in Carol Stream.

They’ve generously agreed to donate the use of Santa’s RV. Visit them on the web at www.hometownrv.com.

Registration fee is per family. Register the first child, then list additional children when prompted.

Aquatics Swim Lessons

What to bring

The Bartlett Park District’s swim lesson program is for swimmers of all ages. Before registering for a swim lesson, review your child’s previous lesson history and age limitations of class. Due to the limited amount of space on our pool deck, parents will be asked to sit either in the bleachers or viewing area. For those who have already been in our swim lesson program, please sign your child up for lessons according to a previous swim lesson report card.

• Towel

Classes fill quickly and transferring from one level to another is not always possible. If you have questions, please ask at the Registration Desk. Registration will close 3 days prior to the start of the class. Please note the time and dates of your lesson. No refunds or make-ups will be given for classes missed or forgotten. The park district reserves the right to combine class levels if deemed appropriate.

Class Length: M-Th - 40 minutes. There are no classes the week of Nov 21- 26.

Please arrive 15 minutes early for first day check-in. Guardians may either wait for their swimmers in the bleachers or the viewing room. It is important to keep the pool deck clear so the instructor can have your swimmers full attention during the class time.

Please stay for the entire swimmer’s class, in case of emergency where consent is required.

Location: Bartlett Community Center 700 S. Bartlett Rd, Bartlett
