Dear Community Members,One of the state requirements every year for Community Education is to complete the, Annual Report, that lists several age groups and a number of categories for reporting the number of participants. The categories include sports, enrichment, health and safety, academic, recreation and service. It is always interesting to look back over the year to see how many adults, youth and children participated in Community Education and Early Childhood classes and activities. The numbers show that Sartell and St. Stephen residents continue to value Community Educaton services for themselves and their children.

As always if you have a question about Community Education, a suggestion for a new class, want to learn more about early childhood/pre-school, or want information on the Senior Connection program please call the Community Education Office at 253-4036 or visit www.sartellststephencommunityed.com
