Maranacook Adult and Community Education is planning to restart the fall semester with an exciting selection of online classes. Currently, we will be offering a wide selection of classic favorites such as Yoga, Zumba and Meditation as well as some fun new classes such as Song Writing 101, Chinese Cooking, iPhone Basics, Introduction to the MAC, Hypnosis and Preserving the Harvest: Canning, Freezing and Storage.
For those who are looking to get outside and enjoy nature, Maranacook Adult Education will also be offering an edible and medicinal plant walk that will be offered outside on the Maranacook campus hiking trails. Class will be limited to a small group of participants and social distancing will be practiced.
While we all love to gather together, meet new people, socialize and learn in the face to face environment, due to the current pandemic, face to face enrichment classes that are typically offered at Maranacook High School will not be made available until hopefully the spring semester. This is of course to protect the health and safety of our district students and teachers as well as our surrounding communities.
While enrichment classes will not be offered in a face to face environment, we will be offering HiSET tutoring, in a small group learning environment, and HiSET testing will begin starting the week of September 28th. To keep students and staff safe and healthy, we are asking that any students who are planning to begin their dream of achieving a HiSET diploma this fall semester contact Steve Vose (steve_vose@maranacook.com) to arrange a meeting date and time.
In addition to our face to face HiSET tutoring program, Maranacook Adult Education is also preparing to offer our students a remote learning option as well starting mid October. For those students wanting to participate but lacking internet or computer access, Maranacook Adult Education has some technology available to assist. If interested please contact steve_vose @maranacook.com.
The Maine Bureau of Motor Vehicles is allowing Maranacook Adult Education to offer CDL training, in a limited capacity. Our fall class is scheduled to begin on September 12th. At this time limited space is still available. If interested in participating in this program please contact steve_vose@maranacook.com.
We thank all of our students and program participants for their patience in these unusual times. While we all hope for a speedy end to the pandemic, Maranacook Adult Education is doing all it can to move forward with its pledge to offer high quality enrichment and educational programing to our local communities no matter what hurdles we need to overcome.
Thank you for your continued support,
Steve Vose
