YOUTH SERVICE PROJECT

Creating a Home Library for Kids

Grades 6-8

Are you a middle schooler with a passion for reading? If so, sign up for this great opportunity to help expand
home libraries for young readers with books that they get to choose themselves. Did you know that studies
show that children are more likely to read books they choose, rather than have someone pick out the books
for them? This February, students in grades 6-8 have the opportunity to sign up and help the Lakeville Heritage
Library and Lakeville Area Community Education give young readers the chance to explore their local library
and participate in a free shopping spree of gently used books!

Day one: Middle schoolers organize the gently used books and write recommendation cards that will help
kids find the perfect book.

Day two: Participants will host a free book distribution housed at the library for children K-5. They will set up a
“store” in the large meeting room, where little shoppers will be given a shopping bag and tickets to exchange
for books. Middle schoolers will help kids K-5 go through a line and look “shop” for the books to bring home
to build their own home library.

AQUATICS & SAFETY Learn to Swim with Lakeville Area Community Ed!

Red Cross trained and certified instructors will help your child enjoy developing swimming and water safety skills
in a positive learning environment. Discussion of safety topics are included in all classes. Prerequisite for each level
is the mastery of skills from the preceding level or equivalent skills. Each child is provided with a skill assessment
within the first two classes to determine appropriate level placement. Each student receives a bookmark at the start
of the class with a free pass to open swim along with a progress report at the end of the session. It is common for
a child to repeat a level before mastering all skills.

For complete class descriptions, a comparison of our levels to other swim programs, and other frequently
asked questions, please visit our website: LakevilleAreaCommunityEd.org. For other questions,
contact katey.radant@isd194.org or call 952-232-2150. Swim lesson prices & schedules on page 34.
