Community Education: Celebrations

Community Education had several hundred programs offered for youth this past year including Pre-School through 12th grade students. The offerings took place at several District 742 locations, as well as at businesses where we partner. The classes were offered at a variety of times including week nights, week-ends and after-school.

Project Challenge participants (a Community Education program for Adults with Disabilities) gave back to the community by picking up litter at Whitney Park, ringing the bell for the Salvation Army, packing food for Kids Against Hunger, and sorting at the Goodwill store. Along with a Holiday and Spring Concerts, the Project Challenge Singers were asked to perform for an audience of over 350 community members celebrating October as Disability Awareness Month.
