Adventures Plus school-age care was excited
to stretch and grow programming opportunities
this summer, thanks to Statewide Health
Improvement Partnership (SHIP) grants and local
collaborations, which provided opportunities to
students enrolled in the program to learn about
and try yoga, and harvest a wealth of knowledge
about fresh fruits and vegetables through a
“Farm to School” curriculum.

In addition, each summer Adventures Plus
site – or 17 schools – received $300 worth of
yoga supplies including mats, breathing balls,
training posters and more. The Coon Rapids
YMCA created a special training program for
Adventures Plus so both staff and students could
comfortably lead classes, even if they have not
been exposed to yoga before.
“Overall, the vision that we had is
happening,” Gilbert said, “I have talked with our
staff and students, and it is clear that they are
benefitting from the resources.”

Adventures Plus school-age care
stretches and grows programming
with the help of Statewide Health
Improvement Partnership (SHIP)
“What I love most about these opportunities
is seeing kids take time to slow down, try
something new, and quiet their busy young
minds,” Jennifer Gilbert, Anoka-Hennepin
Schools Wellness Specialist and SHIP
Coordinator, said. “Today’s fast-paced lifestyle
often leaves kids overstimulated and exhausted.
I’m grateful that we were able to partner with
generous community organizations to provide
these tools to positively impact our students in
their physical and emotional wellbeing.”
We value the opportunity to bring quality
educational programs to our community
members, and there is something for
everyone. Classes and activities are offered
year-round. Check out the upcoming
summer catalogs and register online:

Adult learning
CPHS students - Grace Bassekle (junior), Will Asinger
(sophomore), Megha Verghese (sophomore), Vanessa
Vaudrey (sophomore) and Claire Koch (freshman) –
earned first place in the regional competition earlier
this spring. Three of the team members - Koch, Vaudrey
and Verghese - traveled to Washington D.C. this past
summer to accept the first-place regional award, and also
learned they earned a silver medal, or second place, in the
national competition.
The Farm to School curriculum and activities
not only taught students about the growth cycle
of produce from seed to sprout, but also gave
students hands-on learning opportunities to dig
into how those fruits and vegetables provide
essential nutrients for our bodies to grow. SHIP
funding allowed Anoka-Hennepin Community
Education to purchase kitchen kits for all
summer Adventures Plus school-age care sites,
which included the tools needed for students to
clean, prepare, cook with and sample fresh fruits
and vegetables, straight from local gardens.

Students in the summer Adventures Plus school-age care program

to learn, explore and tend to vegetables in the gardens on-site.
