I am a red belt in TKD, but have not trained in a while... I was thinking possibly a representative from the school could do some self defense... I would be willing to help out, but probably not run the class...Possibly my husband could help - he was ready to test for his Black Belt...???

We have utilized the services/supports of our Employee Assistance Program (EAP) in the past for faculty meetings as they provide FREE presentations on topics such as stress management, wellness, etc. They might be worth looking into if you need them! ** CONFIRMED **

Hi Terry, Yes, I am interested. Is there a participation fee? I think there are several avenues in which we could participate. We have HIV/AIDS prevention, CPR and First Aid information/instruction, and emergency preparedness for the community and workplace. Which of these do you think would be the best fit?

Thanks! Shoshone

Hi Carolyn, In addition to teaching at East Sr., I teach a number of aerobics classes at the YMCA. I am very passionate about both the Y and working out. I am able to teach: Kickbox, step, pilates, yoga, abs, weight classes, in addition to several others. Please let me know if this is the type of expertise you are looking for. I have been teaching for about eight years. I am certified through AFAA, the YMCA, and am CPR/AED certified. I have been out this whole week, because our son has been in the hospital. But I can get that sheet to you as soon as I hear back.
