We will also begin starter projects along the way leading to our final goal of a basic hat. No experience necessary, but patience and persistence may be required. Boys are encouraged to join the class as well.

Class is taught by Michelle Koerner an avid knitter, who started as a teenager and one of Eaton's Enrichment Coordinators. She has been sharing her craft with children at Eaton for many years.

 Students will learn soccer skills with Coach Denis Chekuristov. Denis comes from a long tradition of soccer. His father, a professional player, started teaching Denis soccer as soon as he could walk. He also comes from a tradition of education. His mother has taught school for over 25 years.
