Ever tried to take a test with a grumbling tummy? Did being hungry make it harder to concentrate?

Please join us during the month of April as we collect snacks for our partner school John Lewis Elementary. John Lewis is a title 1 school, meaning they have a large amount of students who are living in poverty.

We will be collecting:
Belvita Breakfast Cookies
Granola Bars (Nut Free)
Goldfish/Cheezit Crackers
Fruit Snacks (Real Fruit Juice) 

The Georgia Milestones Assessment is a comprehensive summative testing pro?gram. Georgia Milestones measures how well students have learned the knowledge and skills outlined in the state-adopted content standards in English Language Arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. We want to help prepare the students by offering a little snack, to those who might need it before they begin testing. http://www.gadoe.org/Curriculum-Instruction-and-Assessment/Assessment/Pages/Georgia-Milestones-Assessment-System.aspx

Intro to Modern Dance, in the Sanctuary, Thursdays from 6-7:15 pm, 3/21 through 4/25 Instructor is Elizabeth Field  Class description: This is an introductory class series to the Horton modern dance technique. The Horton Technique is a whole body dance technique that explores movement anatomically to include flexibility, coordination, strength, and spatial awareness. Given this, many movements can be modified for different body types as well as movement limitations. We will explore this technique through a warm up, various exercises that have a specific focus (strength, flexibility, etc.), and fortifications that coordinate various movements in and through personal and shared space. NO PRIOR DANCE EXPERIENCE IS NECESSARY! The Horton technique is a wonderful way to begin exploring movement that enables freedom of movement and expression in an unrestricted manner. There is no charge for this class.
