Southlake Stingrays Stroke & Turn Clinics are designed for the competitive and/or strong swimmer who wants to enhance their stroke technique in order to achieve greater competitive swimming success and receive a good aerobic workout. These classes are not for those who are looking for traditional learnto-swim instruction.

Butterfly will also be a part of the program, but it is not required that swimmers be skilled in butterfly. Swimmers will be required to wear one-piece suits (preferably racing suits), goggles and caps. Classes are held at the CISD Aquatics Center. Please Note: S&T class will NOT be held on the following days: Superbowl Sunday (Feb 4); Easter Sunday (April 1st); there will be no classes during the week of Spring Break (March 11-17); class will be held the last Sunday of Spring Break, on March 18, 2018. Sign-ups for the Stingrays Summer Swim team season (mid-May thru July) will begin in early May; email StingraysSwimming@verizon.net for details.

Fall Green Initiatives

OCTOBER 1 – DECEMBER 31 Applications are available at CityofSouthlake.com/ksb Street Tree Program. The City of Southlake encourages its residents to Keep Southlake Beautiful by participating in the annual Street Tree Program. Through the Street Tree Program, residents are able to purchase a tree for half price, with the City covering the other half of the cost. The following four (4) varieties of trees are available for purchase through the program: Chinese Pistache, Lacebark Elm, Live Oak and Shumard Oak. Trees will be planted in City right-of-ways in late winter/early spring. The benefits of participating in a Street Tree program are many. Trees enhance the beauty of our community, but they also play a vital role in the health of our environment. Trees improve air quality by filtering out harmful pollutants, provide the oxygen we need to breath, reduce the amount of storm water runoff and provide a natural habitat for many species of wildlife.

NOVEMBER – JANUARY Curbside Leaf Recycling: November 22, December 6, December 20, January 10 and January 17 The City of Southlake, in partnership with Republic Services, is pleased to offer another round of curbside leaf recycling this winter. The Leaf Recycling Program gives citizens the opportunity to place their bagged leaves on the curb and have them picked up for recycling rather than ending up in the landfill. During the last Leaf Recycling Program, Southlake residents put green in their routine, and Southlake residents bagged and recycled over 305 tons of leaves! It is important to participate in this program because the tree leaves that accumulate in and around a landscape represent a valuable natural resource that can be used to provide landscaped areas with a good source of organic matter and nutrients.

DECEMBER – JANUARY Christmas Tree Recycling: December 16–January 12. Mulch pickup — January 13–January 19

YEAR ROUND

What should you do with your Christmas tree after Christmas? Recycle it! By recycling your tree, you save valuable landfill space. Real Christmas trees are biodegradable, which means they can be easily reused or recycled for mulch and other purposes.

cartridges may be dropped off at the Southlake Public Library, Teen Court Office at DPS Central and the Community Services office in Town Hall.

Adopt-a-Street. The Adopt-a-Street program gives families and

Through the City of Southlake’s Christmas Tree Recycling Program, residents can drop off their bare trees at Bicentennial Park and the City will turn the trees into wood chips. The environmentally friendly wood chips are made available to residents and can be used as mulch that can be placed in and around flower beds and gardens.

groups the opportunity to help their communities by collecting litter and beautifying roadsides four times a year. This is similar to the Don’t Mess with Texas Adopt-a-Highway Program.
