Get that Bread—And Keep it, Too!: Learning How to Manage Your Money

(Personal Development)

Money money money! How do I make it? What do I do with it? What about bills and rent—how do you even pay them? And why is saving so important, can’t I just spend my money? And how do I even save? If you have ever wondered about any of these questions or if you want to learn more about how to make and manage money, this workshop series is for you! We will answer these questions and so much more while exploring topics such as budgeting, understanding a paycheck, savings accounts, buying a car, paying bills, and more!

Students are encouraged to register for all events in this series!

Get Up and Get Moving!

(Personal Development)

Zoom fatigue is REAL, and we don't know about you, but all this sitting and laying down has got us feeling down... so let's get up! Join us for six weeks of movement, stress relief, and relaxation that you can do wherever you are, whenever you want—especially when you're feeling cooped up inside or stressed about anything.

We'll do some stretches, cardio, and other fun exercises you can do at home, anytime. You can even do them while watching your favorite shows! No previous experience or special equipment necessary.

No experience necessary!

We'll teach you everything you need to know, PLUS we'll mail you all the stuff you'll need! You'll get to keep your final product and, as an added bonus, we'll chat about how working with clay can help you relax and knead-out some of the stress you may be feeling.
