Our Staff & Facilities
From the Director
Community Services
Long, warm, lazy days; that’s what summer is all about. Community
Education is all geared up and ready to cure the summer doldrums. We
encourage you to watch the construction of the indoor pool at the CEC and
check out the changes happening at the Middle School. Register to participate in the 1st Annual Color Craze Run, audition to be part of this year’s
Dozinky Days Variety Show or just hang out at the pool. There is so much to
do and only 3 months of summer in which to do it.
Director, Janelle Kirsch
[email protected], 952-758-1733
In this edition you will find numerous options for all ages:
• Adults can get updated in CPR training, take a trip to the History Theatre to see Glensheen, make a piece of twig furniture, learn to sew,
exercise with friends, and more.
• A wide variety of sports, arts, theatre, music and STEM activities are
available for Kindergarten through High School students.
• Toddlers and preschool aged children can get active in one of our many
classes designed specifically for that age group.
• And families are encouraged to spend time together exploring the great
outdoors with one of our outdoor recreation options including Open
Stadium Sundays at the Trojan track and field.
Summer is fleeting. Get involved. Mark your calendar and sign up early so
you won’t miss out on the fun.
Warmly,
Janelle Kirsch
Director of Community Services

Protecting Your Retirement Assets
New Laws and Updates
Long-term care insurance is not for everyone, but getting educated on how recent MN and
Federal laws have changed previous long-term care insurance products is a necessity.
Learn exactly how new Minnesota laws now guarantee that you can shelter/ protect your
assets from future long-term care costs.
This class is a “must” for you to determine whether or not long-term care insurance should
be part of your own retirement and estate planning.
Through a partnership with Ed2Go, we can
offer you a wide range of highly interactive
courses that can be taken entirely over the
internet. All of these online courses are led
by expert instructors, many of whom are
nationally known authors. These courses
are affordable, fun, fast, convenient, and
geared just for you. For a full listing of
Ed2Go classes, go to http://www.ed2go.

Long-Term Care Insurance
Does it make sense?
Long-term care insurance has changed. Does this product make financial sense (including the
new hybrid/combo policies)?
This advanced class is for those who have wondered about buying long-term care insurance
or for those who already have it. This class shows how to accurately compare the costeffectiveness of different policies.
Learn what options should be avoided, where the “gotchas” are often hidden
in the fine print, and what is the “best” age to buy. Understand the pros and cons of group
plans available.
A class will be held at Valley Green
Workforce Center in Shakopee on
Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays from
April 4-May 26, 2-4:30 pm.
This is a free class with the opportunity
to take the ServSafe Exam; for more
information and to register, contact
Lynnea Henry, 952-567-8128 or
[email protected]
This class will provide the analytical tools to help you decide if you should even consider
buying a policy - or if you should keep your existing policy.

Home Canning Basics
With the growing season nearly upon us,
it is time to learn to make and squirrel
away your own supply of homemade jams,
spicy salsas, and other delicious foods to
be shared with family and friends during
the cold winter months. Home canning of
fresh food provides a number of benefits,
including: lower grocery bills, sustainable
lifestyles, and better nutrition through
control of the ingredients that go into your
food. Once you know the basics, home
canning is really quite easy. This class will
introduce you to the tools/equipment,
food safety and produce/ingredient
selection needed to successfully do it this
season and for many years to come.

alone for an hour after school or a full day
on the weekend, the child needs to feel
comfortable in their surroundings. Topics
discussed in this class include; personal
safety tips, stranger danger, basic first aid,
storm safety, internet safety, dealing with
siblings, as well as having fun while home
alone.

Summer Fun for Youth of all ages!
Exclusive to New Prague Community Education, Starstruck will
spark and enhance your interest in theatre, singing, dance,
and art. Students will be divided into groups by age and rotate
through four sessions (theatre, pop choir, dance, and art). Each
week includes instruction in those same four components, yet
each has a unique theme. Since each week features different
music and activities, students can participate in all three weeks
and get a different experience each time. Our goal is to introduce
beginning students to the arts and challenge experienced
students to improve their talent. The week will culminate in a
free, multidisciplinary performance featuring all students. Join us
for an incredible summer!

Does your child like to get messy? Do you
cringe at the thought of cleaning those
messes? Children will get lost in messmaking mania as we explore different
sensory activities and use a variety of
techniques to make messy art. Each
session will be different so sign up for one
or more, as we explore things like spaghetti
painting, edible mud, frozen car rescue
and much more. Keep in mind, your child's
clothing will probably not stay clean so dress
appropriately.
Minnesota law requires that all
children be screened prior to
school enrollment. Age 3 is the
recommended age for this health and
developmental screening.
Come out to Cedar Lake Farm and delight
in some fun, recreational activities for
preschoolers and adults to learn and enjoy
together. Each program includes a story,
craft, outdoor activity and lots of fun!
Screening helps identify children
who may benefit from additional
learning or health services before
they enter kindergarten. This simple,

height, weight, vision, hearing,
speech and development. Your child’s
immunizations will also be reviewed.

that next step in their educational career.
Our friendly, low-stress atmosphere
provides opportunities to work on the
areas of listening, language, fine motor,
creativity, self-help, independence and
social skills, while also focusing on math
and reading readiness. The age appropriate
activities promote kindergarten readiness
skills with a hands-on learning approach.
The New Prague Area Schools Kindergarten
teachers are excited to meet your child and
help ease their first day of school jitters!
We're Going on a Bear Hunt!
Ages 3-5
We're going on a bear hunt and we hope
you can come! While no real bears will be
joining us, we will set up a tent, do a "beary"
fun art project, make s'mores, and sit around
a kid-friendly campfire while we read a story
and sing songs.
