Give teens gifts of knowledge
December 10th, 2009 at Thu, 10th, 2009 at 1:36 pm by marystevensdeckerWhen your kid is too old for Zhu Zhu Pets — and doesn’t want you to pick out his or her clothes anymore — consider giving gifts of knowledge.
Redmond’s Old Fire House Teen Center is accepting enrollment for several inexpensive January and February classes to broaden teens’ horizons. A few include:
• Thursday afternoon Silkscreen Co-op by appointment. ($5)
• Drumming 102 for drummers with a bit of experience who want to advance their skills. Tuesday evenings from Jan. 19-March 9. ($28 for Redmond residents, $31 for non-residents)
• Teen Toastmasters, for students who have a fear of public speaking. This one can help with school presentations, job interviews and more. Monday evenings, Feb. 8-March 8. ($15 residents, $18 non-residents)
For sign-up or information, e-mail ccullen@redmond.gov.
