What’s New this Spring? Spring, considered the season of renewal, is a good time to venture out and try something new. Whether you’re a child, teen or adult, there are a number of new activities offered this spring for you to experience. For the under 5 crowd (pages 14–19), a Yoga for Kids program with parent participation, PeeWee Tennis and Lil Baseball are all fun ways to instill a lifelong love for physical activity. Older youth (pages 19–26) can try their hand at the new Creative Writing, Arts and Crafts Exploration, or Young Rembrandts Cartooning. They can do something physical, too, and sign up for GO FAR (also known as ‘Go Out For A Run’), a comprehensive fitness program for 3rd–5th graders. Teens (pages 26–29) can spend spring break visiting five different (and close by) college campuses to see which school and community might be the best fit for them, and then follow up with College Success 101—a two-session class designed to prepare students to be successful in college. Teens also have the opportunity to join the inaugural Muggle Quidditch League, a sport based upon the game played in J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter book series. And a new recreational volleyball league is starting up for girls ages 12–14.
