It was the first week of fall Early Childhood Family Education classes across the district! Children, parents and caregivers took part in discovery, connection and play. We caught up with families at Riverview and Sorteberg Early Childhood Centers as well as Anoka Family Place as they celebrated the first week of classes. Families had so much fun exploring all the new activities together in ECFE! 🎉💕

What a loaf!! Check out this beauty baked by a Community Ed staff member who just took our new 'Sourdough Starter' class. 🍞🥖Instructor Rachel Jordan taught participants how to make fresh, homemade bread with confidence. Everyone received a sourdough starter and learned how to feed and maintain it. Delish! If you’re interested in joining in on the fun, we still have some openings in our next sourdough class coming up in December. Register at https://bit.ly/4ydxqPr.
