Old Baldy Adult Ed Spring 2023

Old Baldy Adult Ed Spring 2023 Terey Artz - Adult Ed and Facility Use Coordinator With a name honoring a prominent landmark in our community, the Old Baldy Adult Education program has a 20+ year history offering a variety of classes to inspire lifelong learning and an active lifestyle.
Adult Ed classes resumed this last fall and winter following a pandemic pause. Community members generously shared their time and talent to offer classes with a wide range of topics. Some classes met (and still meet) every week such as the always-popular “Pickleball” class coordinated by Pam Sample and Jeff Langlinais. Other classes met over the period of multiple weeks such as Clint Watson’s “Makerspace for Wood or Metal Projects” and Vic Sample’s “Exploring the Basics of Computer Programming." Classes in the Gardens and Landscapes series offered four different topics over four consecutive weeks and drew a large number of participants.
Fall/winter classes wrapped up in late March as we transitioned to new topics in an abbreviated spring session. Once again wonderful instructors have stepped forward to share their knowledge, some are veterans of the Adult Ed program and others who are offering a class for the first time. Details about spring classes and online registration are available through the Education/Old Baldy Adult Ed portion of the Townsend School District website: https://www.townsend.k12.mt.us/ Class flyers are also available in various businesses around town and at the Broadwater School and Community Library.
With the exception of a few classes that will continue to meet monthly throughout the summer, Old Baldy Adult Education will pause for the summer break and resume next September with classes that are old favorites along with new learning opportunities. We’re always seeking topics of interest to the community and instructors willing to share their knowledge! If you’re interested in teaching a class please contact Terey Artz, Adult Education and Facility Use Coordinator, at tartz@townsend.k12.mt.us
Classes are generally offered at no or very low cost to participants and are a terrific way to explore new hobbies and activities or brush up on the old ones!
