SEMINAR IN REVIEW: ZUMBA®
NEW CLASS: MINDFUL EATING
John Kennedy once said, “physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity.” On Tuesday, November 13 from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. in the Rooker Fireside Lounge, Amanda Hammond from Rec Sports led the staff in Zumba®. Zumba® is a Latin-inspired dance-fitness program that combines a variety of music with moves from many of the Latin dances. Staff members certainly engaged their dynamic and creative intellectual abilities as they danced up a sweat!
This spring, the Adult Education Program will offer a class on mindful eating. If you are interested in learning how to establish and maintain a healthy weight without losing the pleasure of eating, this class is perfect for you! The class instructor, Dr. Mike Healy, explains that you will be able to “learn to enjoy the pleasure of eating, while changing your relationship with food and eating.” The mindful eating class will help you practice slowing down, listening to your body and making better choices in your eating habits.
STUDENT OF THE MONTH: DECEMBER Congratulations Randy Hickman from the Brumby Community. You are the December student of the month! Randy was nominated by Ginny Jones, the instructor of the GED Preparation class this fall. Here is what Ginny had to say about Randy: “Randy Hickman has shown great improvement over the semester, particularly in the latter half. He has been dedicated to learning and improving, actively participates and invests his time to the learning process. Also, he always has such a positive attitude and encourages other students in the class.”
We would also like to recognize our other December nominees: Jossi Martinez (ESL), Samantha Gunnin (Typing) and Louise McCoy (Computer Skills). Congratulations, once again, to all of our student of the month winners for Fall 2012: Gloria Lumpkin (September), Blanca Diaz (October) and Randy Hickman (December)! Look for the names of all our students of the month on the plaque in the SDSC Adult Education classroom in Creswell Hall.
