Kids’ yoga is coming
This isn’t your traditional Yoga class. Children’s yoga is a different way to learn about the body. We will stretch, strengthen, gain flexibility and balance through short, age-appropriate activities, as well as learn how to calm our bodies, breath and mind.
Yoga has been shown to improve concentration, memory, attention, problem-solving and decision-making — all terrific skills needed for learning. Relaxation is just as important as exercise and we will learn these concepts and more, all by having fun. Classes will be held starting Wednesday, Oct. 11, and run through November 15.
The cost is $25. We must have 12 participants to run the program. Classes will take place at the Hall until 4:15 p.m. Children must have a note to ride the bus from school to the hall. Open to Kindergarten and up. The class will be instructed by Julie French.
Community Calendars
The community calendar includes birthdays, anniversaries, etc., along with photos of local venues and people by residents of our community. Calendars can be purchased by filling out a form at the Town Office.
New this year: Customers must pick up calendars at the Town Office in mid-December; they will not be delivered as in the past.
This year’s price is $12 and includes a different color photo on each page. Proceeds from this project help pay out-town-fees for local children’s lessons and make it possible to offer partial scholarships to those in need.
Please return order form for your 2018 calendar by no later than Oct. 5 to the Town Office or by mail to P.O. Box 127, Easton, ME 04740. Call 488-6601 with any questions.
