Forest Lake Area Schools Community Education

Learn to recognize potentially threatening situations from the six major assault categories (frontal attack, side attack, rear attack, weapon attack, gang attack and non-standing attack). You will acquire verbal strategies, physical techniques, and other counter and preemptive tools and interventions to effectively deter and protect yourself from dangerous situations. A strong emphasis is placed on empowering the mind to overcome fear and to let go of a "victim mentality". Master Jeff Wood, 5th Dan Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do, is the head instructor for this class.

This two-mile guided nature walk will allow you to experience habitats found within the three biomes of our state – the deciduous forest, the coniferous forest and the prairie. A Minnesota Master Naturalist Instructor will guide you through a tamarack bog, oak woodland and restored prairie and describe the plant communities, creatures and ecological processes present in the school forest. The history of the school forest as well as the current partnerships, collaborations, research and service-learning will be presented. Attendees will learn how to set up a trail camera and how to age trees. There will be multiple opportunities to stop and rest to listen and look for birds as well as other animals living in this forest. Wear sturdy walking shoes and bring water, snacks and binoculars, if you have them. Please park at the lot on the north end of the forest: 6256 227th Ave NE, Stacy. Look for this sign:

The Enneagram is one of the most talked about assessments in the world of personal growth these days and it’s easy to see why. More than identifying our strengths or personality type, the Enneagram helps us understand the motivations behind why we do what we do. It helps answer some of our biggest personality questions: Who am I? Why do I think, feel, and act like I do? Why is it so easy for me to sabotage myself on the way to achieving my goals and dreams? How come I continue to experience the same kinds of problems in my relationships? Most significantly, it reveals a specific pathway of growth unique to each of the Enneagram's nine personality types. Join me for an introductory Enneagram workshop and hear what the buzz is all about! You will be provided with a link prior to class.
