Community Education Youth Programs have partnered with Edina Public Schools to provide 2-hour enrichment activities on Oct 30 and Dec 11 in each site. Our hope is that the availability of supervised, affordable activities will help create a smooth transition for parents and students on those dates. Info will be provided at open houses, on our website or see page 4 for details. E We heard it from you! After polling families this spring we discovered that

Lori Murphy, Youth Enrichment Manager

most of you prefer a more formal style of language acquisition for your child. We have revamped our Spanish program so lessons are now more structured and kids can advance through at least 2 levels per year. See page 24 for more details. E I am super excited about a new program the Adult Education and Youth

Programs are collaborating on this year…it is called “Passport to Edina Community Education”. We have developed a collection of classes that explore different countries through language, crafts, fitness, food and social customs. Most are great for families to attend together. Best of all, you will have a great time filling up a Community Ed Passport with stamps from your “trips”. See page 31 for details. E As always, if you have questions or comments about any of our programs, our

fabulous staff will be happy to help you anytime! Enjoy the fall season!
