Community Education October - December 2019 Offerings
Thank you for opening the pages of the Cardinal Community Education brochure! We just know you?ll find a
class (or two!) you?ll be curious to try!
The Cardinal CLC, is a ?school within a school?that serves as a community learning hub for the Chippewa
Falls Area Unified School District. A myriad of opportunities offer students a place to explore outside of the
traditional classroom and our community members a welcoming environment in which they can feel at home
while they learn. Our programs include:
· Voyagers Middle School After School Program
· B-Free Puppetry and Protecting You, Protecting Me (AODA Programming)
· Student Connections (middle school groups)
· Cardinal Community Education
· Special Community Events
The Cardinal CLC utilizes school space during the day, evening, and weekends to facilitate exploration and
programming in the areas of extended academic support, art and culture, health and social service, civic
engagement, and best of all, FUN!
The success of the Cardinal CLC is a result of the abundant resources the area has to offer by way of
partnerships with local businesses, civic organizations, community members, and caring individuals who want
to make a positive impact on our community members.
The Cardinal CLC Team wishes you a wonderful school year and we look forward to satisfying your ?yearning
for learning?.
