Welcome

Welcome: March 2010

Welcome to Bonny Eagle Adult Education, part of MSAD #6 school district. It’s hard to believe that it is March, with spring just around the corner. Of course with the wild weather we’ve been having, I don’t even want to guess what our “spring” weather will be like! But we’re all Mainers, even if some of us are “from away.” So join your friends and neighbors and try an Adult Education class. March is a busy month at adult education, and I’m sure there’s something that you’ve always wanted to learn, and have just never found the time to do it!

We’re offering several new courses including: How to Feed Your Family Gluten Free Without Breaking the Budget, Introduction to GPS/Geocaching, and Cyber Safety for Parents. Also new: Bonny Eagle High School theatre teacher, Rick Osann, is offering a one-night workshop on Improv Theatre. It should be a blast!

Although summer planting season is still a long way off, it’s not too early to start planning. Join Richard Rudolph of Rippling Waters Organic Farm, for Closing the Food Gap in the Land of Plenty. It’s sure to be a thought-provoking evening with ideas for how we can connect more closely with the food we eat. Also in March, Nancy Stedman from LittleRiver Flower Farm can show you how you really can start eating Your Own Fresh Garden Veggies in May!

We’re delighted to welcome Debra Rainbow Heart (Holloway) to our program this semester. Debra will offer two courses for those who want to explore their inner world: The Way of Shaman: A Path of Healing and Peace, and Drawing from Your Soul: An Introduction to Touch Drawing. Check out Debra’s website@ www.rainbowheart-shaman.com. And Brenda Paquette returns with an Introduction to Spiritual Energies later this month, followed with her series of Reiki classes in April.

Also returning is the popular Autism, Asperger's, and ADHD: How to Support Children in Social Situations. Parents, grandparents, educators and caregivers have found this class is helpful for both their children and themselves!

Get your blood moving and shake off those winter doldrums. Join 2 Step and Country Dance starting March 4, or one of the fitness classes that begin a second session: Hula Hoop or Zumba. Pat Packard also begins her Hatha Yoga classes the first week in March. Register early as both sessions of Yoga usually fill up fast! Although many of our classes have low enrollment, some do fill up, and we hate you to miss out. Both sections of Zumba Dance, and Introduction to Hula Hoop, filled in January the week before class began. Register NOW!

I hope that you’re finding this Maine Adult Education Website helpful in searching for courses.
