The Spring Term of the Hamilton Community School began the week of April 16-19. The response of area individuals, both adults and children was very strong. All but a few classes had the sufficient enrollments to be held. The Spring Term will end the week of June 4-7.
For the first time, parents enrolled in Spring Term classes and activities can bring their young children (3 years and older) to attend the Community School’s Supervision program. Under the direction of Karen Brown, a member of the Hamilton Community School staff, children receive excellent and careful attention while playing games or doing education-related activities. Many of the parents have taken advantage of this service, which is free of charge, and the children enjoy the company of other youngsters their own age.
Also in this Spring Term, persons enrolled in classes which meet Mondays and Wednesdays can avail themselves of the free transportation service to and from Community School activities. Various sites in the area were dubbed “Bus Stops” as a result of people indicating a desire for transportation. Normally, the Bus Stops are within a block or two of the person’s house. If more individuals require the service, or there is a need to provide additional service on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, attention will be given to expanding the program. For mothers with young children who wish to attend classes, the transportation service made the difference in whether or not they could enroll.
