Seward Parks & Recreation Department's...

"Everyone Teaches - Everyone Learns"
in the Seward High School building

The Community Schools program has been a viable recreation site for over 30 years in Seward. The
concept of Community Schools is to provide recreational, educational, social and cultural activities to
the whole community through the use of the school building during the evening hours. "Neighbors
teaching neighbors" offers something for everyone at Community Schools.

Today's Update
 

Community Schools offers a variety of classes such as martial arts, fencing, crafts, and dog obedience. Class fees apply and also vary.  We are always looking for community members to teach classes and run programs that bring their special skills to the rest of the community.  If you have a special skill or talent that you would like to share with others, please contact Community Schools, and we can help you with all the logistics.

Winter 2007 Classes:

The Community Schools Mission ... is to improve the quality of life for the Seward community as a whole through educational and socio-cultural events and programs. To offer positive opportunities and choices to individuals from all age groups, for their leisure time activities. To provide access to the school for all community residents for enhancement and recreational opportunities.
