Digital Animation Class a Hit!
February 22, 2008
This Winter we introduce a new Digital Animation Class for children ages 9-14. In this class the children learned the basics of manipulating objects, colors, and sounds while creating online characters. They also learned how to add stories to their characters and stream their figures into cartooning.
Digital animation was such a hit that we will be offering it in the summer too!
To see what the class created please go to the link below and check out there great work.
Recreation Department Announces Youth Athletics Advisory Panels
February 16, 2008
Over the last several years the Recreation Department has gathered community input through end of the season meetings and the distribution of thousands of surveys. This information has been helpful; however, to truly be successful we need the opportunity to have an on-going discussion with parents, participants and coaches. We need you to get involved! The Lakewood Recreation Department is creating Advisory Panels for its Youth Athletic programs. There will be three separate panels focusing on baseball/softball, basketball and football. The purpose of the Advisory Panels is to get parents, participants and coaches involved in the future of our community’s youth athletic programs.
As a member of an Advisory Panel you will be asked to review current programs, give your opinion and advise the Recreation Department on ways to improve programming. All parents, participants and coaches are encouraged to take part. We anticipate each Advisory Panel meeting three to four times per year; once or twice before the start of the season, once during the season and once following the season.
Each Advisory Panel will be led by volunteer Co-Chairpersons. Meeting schedule can be found above under Upcoming Events. To get involved, or to be a volunteer Chairperson, call the Recreation Department today at 216- 529-4081 or contact us at www.lakewoodrecreation.com.
