SUMMER ACTIVITIES FAIR
Community Education, Bowling Green High School Youth Services Center and Natcher Elementary Family Resource Center are co-sponsoring the 8th annual Summer Activities Fair at 5:30 p.m., Monday, April 23 in BGHS arena. The purpose of the fair is to provide parents with children in grades k-12 a one-stop shop opportunity for information on the activities, camps, or other programs offered during the summer in our community.
If your agency/organization/business/church has summer programs/camps/activities and you would be interested in having a person at the fair to register children or at least have information available, please contact Community Education as soon as possible.
In order to have a space reserved at a table, an organization must commit to providing someone to be at the table to answer questions, distribute information, etc.
For more information about the fair or to reserve a table, please contact Debi Wade Jordan at 842-4281 or djordan@commed.us. |
| In 1973, a group of dedicated citizens and civic leaders met with the idea of creating an organization that would collaborate with other agencies and organizations to provide lifelong learning for our citizens. An interlocal agreement between both local school districts and Warren County Fiscal Court created and sustains the agency. Since that time, Community Education has grown to provide before and after school care for more than 1,000 school age children and youth on school days and for as many as 500 children during all-day programs, which are offered during school breaks. Enrichment classes for adults cover a wide variety of subjects including foreign language, cooking, fine arts (art, dance, music), crafts, computer, fitness and recreation, finance, on-line classes and more. We train volunteers to go into schools to read to children, help tutor them, etc. We also help place volunteers in the community in conjunction with the ALIVE Center. We work very closely with Volunteers in Action to "train the trainers" who work with volunteers in a variety of agencies and organizations. It is our charge to facilitate community collaboration and to provide needed services at low cost to community members. |
