Beating Cabin Fever The Schroon Lake Way

As those in the know, know: Schroon is home to an amazing array of talented folks. They are everywhere,: sitting on boards, organizing road races, protecting our lake, taking care of our snow mobile trials and doing anything they can to make sure we continue to be the blue ribbon destination we are.

So it’s no surprise the folks at the Community Continuing Education Program have come up with another top notch program to get folks off the couch and off their screens this winter.

Schroon Lake Central School Offers Program to Beat Cabin Fever

The Schroon Lake Central School is accepting registrations for the winter session of its Community Continuing Education Program. This is the eighth semester that the program is being offered and includes a wide variety of classes. Participants will be able to learn a variety of skills, gain knowledge, and even get a workout. Approximately 100 residents participate in the program each semester.

“Continuing Education is such an important program because community members should be able to take advantage of the beautiful facilities that we have at SLCS”, said Superintendent Stephen Gratto.

“We appreciate the tax dollars that make quality education possible at SLCS and believe that the public should also be able to benefit from the money they spend.”

In all, the winter session will include ten offerings with 25 classes that will run from January through February. Many popular ones are on the schedule again such as Trivia Night, Friday Night at the Movies, Acrylic Painting, Using Your iPhone and Beginning Yoga. New programs include Pickleball, Conversation with an Adirondack Guide, Indoor Cycling 101, and Adirondack Loons from Ice-Out to Freeze-Up. Continuing Education is also undertaking an exciting new venture – the start-up of the Schroon Lake Theater Club. High school students and community members are invited to get involved in community theater. There’s a role for everyone since the club will need actors, backstage crew, costumers, set builders, advertisers and others. The program provides residents the opportunity to expand their knowledge and use the school as a community center. The school offers the Community Continuing Education Program at no additional cost to the district. Course catalogs are located at the Schroon Lake Public Library and under “District” at www.schroonschool.org Advance registration is required, and most sessions are free-of-charge. For classes requiring a fee, students will pay the instructor directly.
