SCARBOROUGH — Community Services Scarborough is hosting many new events, including the new Teen Advisory Council for high school students in grades 6-8, youth movement classes and the return of a preschool program.
The Teen Advisory Board meets one Friday a month, during which students share what programs, events, and trips they would like to see offered.
Upcoming events include a Valentine’s Day Craft Night on February 11 and a Teen Movie Night on March 18. Each teen party includes a pizza dinner and drinks. Pre-registration for all events is mandatory. Parents can register their child online, by phone or in person. For teen events, there is a processing fee of $15 for trips over $30 and $5 for trips under $30.
The new movement class for young people ages 3 and up introduces children to a variety of activities including gymnastics, yoga, dance, music, rhythm, games and more. During each weekly session, the class will focus on coordination, balance, flexibility, strength and spatial awareness. A next class for children ages 3 to 5 will take place on Fridays, January 28 to March 18, from 10:30 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. and will cost $100 per session. Classes for ages 5 and up will also be held on Fridays, January 28 to March 18, from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. This class is also $100 per session. A parent or guardian must accompany children 3-5 years old. Parents can register for the course through the Scarborough Community Service Center at https://bit.ly/3Hg0sDa
