My favorite part about being a spud athlete is the friends and support I gain from each sport. 1% better everyday. If you want it, work for it.

Taye Reich (center) I play football, baseball and track. My favorite part about being a spud athlete is no matter what sport you're in or what team you're on, it feels like a family.

My favorite part about being a spud athlete is the friends you make through your sport and the community we have supporting us. Always remember to have fun no matter what!

NEW Bookmaking and Finger Painting for Adults: Paste Paper and Simple Books

First used around 450 years ago, the technique of using paint and starch to create unique and highly variable designs on paper remains a simple and versatile method to decorate paper. They are simple to produce – rather like finger painting and having creative free play time. Be prepared, making paste paper is addictive! Paste papers can be used for greeting cards, wrapping paper, book covers, decorating boxes, collages, kites – anywhere you want bright, vibrant designs. Wet pages can be taken home carefully (they do not dry quickly) or picked up the following week. We will also take some of our pretty cover papers and make 2 different book designs and structures. The art of making books is relaxing and very contemplative – folding paper, sewing rhymically – and seeing simple materials become a notebook, journal, a gift, a treasure. All supplies will be provided.

NEW Intermediate Skills: Digital Painting with Photoshop

$89

Adobe states that digital painting is almost everywhere you look. It has existed in some form since the 1960s, but today, it covers many styles of artwork, including digital illustration. Digital artists can see the value of digital painting over traditional approaches, including its convenience, editing ease, improved productivity, long-term cost-effectiveness, and ability to share their digital paintings conveniently. Photoshop is a powerful photo editing tool for digital painting and artists use the software to capture brush strokes made with a stylus rather than a brush to create their artwork. As a user of Photoshop, you are likely already familiar with some of the tools and brushes that could be used for digital illustration within the software. This hands-on, project-oriented digital art course provides easyto-follow, detailed, step-by-step instructions that teach you how to use Photoshop to color and paint photos or other creative works. This course is perfect for photographers, digital illustrators, graphic designers, or anyone who wants to preserve old family photos who has previous Photoshop experience. You will review digital painting foundations, hand-painting images, brush fundamentals, and mixing and painting.

Financial aid is not available through the district.

Students are responsible to bring a Chromebook or internet capable equivalent electronic device to class. Moorhead students are welcome to use their school assigned Chromebook. If a student does not have a device, please contact the Community Education office for rental options at least one week before class.

This 30-hour class prepares students for their instructional permit. Steps for people under 18 years of age to get a Minnesota driver's license:

1. Complete mandatory 30 hours of scheduled classroom instruction. Students cannot be absent or tardy when attending this course. A 90-minute parent component will be scheduled for this class in compliance with Minnesota law. If the parent class is taken then the practice driving hours are reduced from 50 hours to 40.

2. Register for behindthe-wheel training, with a private vendor and receive the blue card. The blue card is issued by the vendor providing the behind-the-wheel instruction and is required to take the state permit test.

3. Take and pass the state permit test. Students registering for the permit test must provide: one primary ID, one secondary ID and the blue card. Primary ID options: state issued ID, current passport or state certified birth certificate. Secondary ID options: Social Security card, student ID with picture and ID number, or certified school transcript. Upon passing the permit test, making payment, and parent/guardian signature, students receive their permit.

4. Complete behind-the-wheel training. Students must have a permit before they can start behindthe-wheel instruction.

5. Complete the six-month practice period. Minnesota law now requires drivers to have a permit for six months before taking the road test. Every driver under the age of 18 who completes behind-the-wheel instruction and is testing for a provisional driver’s license must submit a driving log.

6. Pass road test. To take the road test, students must be 16 years old and have had their permit for six months. Drive on provisional license until qualifications for full license are met.

You must complete all 30 hours of scheduled class to be able to get your permit. If the 30 hours are not completed you will have to register and pay full price for the class again. No absences or tardies allowed. Please note location at registration. Students must attend all 30 hours in person.

The second half parents discuss topics of interest with each other and a licensed parent educator. Children enjoy play time, remaining with a licensed early childhood educator.
