DIRECTOR’S GREETING
Cold weather and Winter have arrived. As we move into the next few
months, we feel a sense of normalcy as our programs are back and
operating as they were two years ago. Many of the opportunities have
bounced back and are better than ever. We owe this all to the members of
our community and staff as you all have stuck by our side and kept us going.
Community Education has not stopped and we will continue to strive forward.
Our Community Education staff have not taken a break and their dedication to
serving our community does not go unnoticed. It starts with our Early Learning staff to Kids Co, coordinators,
facilities, and CERC staff.
To our community, we thank you for your continued support in participation. Our CERC members, class
participants, Kids Co. families, preschool and ECFE families, active older adults, parent volunteers, and
partners are what makes Community Education what it is in Jordan. We strive to support our whole
community so all people have access to programming.
Community Education has always been and continues to be here for our community. Our Community is what
makes us strong. We honor the feedback and grow our programs to ensure all have access to high-quality
programming.
Thank You,
Steven Jensen
Director, Community Ed/Rec
