Registration is now open for our Fall offerings! We hope you enjoy the many options available to you.

Thanks to everyone who supported our Esports team during our summer cook out events. The team greatly appreciates sponsors Deutschland Meats and Brinks Market who helped make the tasty meals possible! You have one more chance this Monday, August 26 to enjoy a pulled pork sandwich from Deutschland Meats. Add a chips and pop for just $2 more! All proceeds go to benefit our Chisago Lakes Middle School and High School Esports players and teams! Thanks again to everyone who came out and supported this great cause. We'll be in front of Door 7 at the Wildcat Community Center this Monday serving from 11 to 1 so stop by!

...but we've' got to solve the problem of finding a coach first!

Chisago Lakes Community Ed. recently received a phone call from Cheryl Whitesitt. Whitesitt is with the Minnesota Chapter of Future Problem Solvers! The Mission of MNFPS is "To teach a process for identifying and resolving problems in a practical, informed, and timely manner with respect to our situation today and our world tomorrow." Future Problem Solving is an international program first started by Dr. E. Paul Torrance in 1974. Through a structured six-step process, FPS teaches students how to think, not what to think. By participating in FPS, students embark on a journey to sharpen their critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills. Developing these skills helps students improve their academic achievement and achieve future goals. Students tackle global issues, community projects, storytelling, visual arts, creative writing and many more categories. The program is open to grades 4-12. CLCE would love to provide this opportunity to our students, but we need your help. If you or anyone you might know has participated in FPS or, if you have the ability to learn, we'd love to find an advisor. From there, the season begins this fall. If your student is interested in joining CLFPS, stay tuned for more information. Forest Lake just had a former student come back and help get a new team off the ground and we're hoping we can offer this opportunity to our students through the benefit of a local coach. Again, stay tuned for more information, but if you're interested in coaching, please reach out to Daniel McGonigle at dmcgonigle@isd2144.org. Thank you!

The Fall swim lesson session will be a 6 class session and classes will be on Sundays starting September 8th and will end on October 13th. We will have four class sessions on these days, 12:30PM, 1:20PM, 2:10PM and 3PM. Registration is on Tuesday, August 27th at 8AM. For those of you who have been in swim lessons before, please sign up your kid(s) for the level that was recommended by the instructors for this session. If you are new to our program or have any questions, please find our program information on our website (https://ce.isd2144.org/aquatics/swim-lessons) or feel free to reach out to Danielle Brooks at dbrooks@isd2144.org.
