The game entices youth to learn more through fascinating descriptions of historical events, peoples, and places as they engage in epic battles and heroic adventures. ***Class cost includes a starter pack for each player, if this is not needed the cost will be $0, but must be noted on the registration packet.

Bullet Journaling and Crochet - $18
Teacher - Kim Donovan
My two loves in one class: Bullet Journaling is a great way to get organized and to keep track of your personal, educational, and professional goals.

This is a great way to keep all your important thoughts and accomplishments in one spot. Bujo is a non digital, hands-on solution to staying organized. (Cost will include a bullet journal and some fun tape for each participant). Crocheting (which I use my bujo to keep track of!) is a fun and relaxing skill...and gives you a sense of accomplishment. We will learn how to hold our yarn and some basic stitches. I would love for everyone to learn how to crochet a granny square...so many possibilities from that little square. (Cost will include some yarn and a crochet hook). We will bounce around both of these hobbies and hopefully everyone will gain something from this class.

Teacher - Tammy Foster

://tuttletwins.com/product/the-tuttle-twins-guide-to-logical-fallacies/
In a society where countless ideas are being shared, debated, and analyzed, it’s more important than ever to sift out the good ones from among the bad ones. And when people you respect and trust use arguments that sound persuasive, how can you determine if they are correct?
One of the most commonly used methods of spreading misinformation is the use of a logical fallacy—a bad argument that makes something seem truthful that actually might not be. These types of arguments are used repeatedly, and there are many different types.
Fortunately, these logical fallacies can be learned, so they can be avoided. Armed with this information, you’ll be equipped to understand when people are sharing an idea that is wrong or making a claim that isn’t true. You’ll become an expert debater by being able to point out a flaw in an opponent’s argument.
That makes this book dangerous—a guidebook for teenagers and young adults who want to explore the ins and outs of how to win arguments and point out problems in others’ ideas. Use this book wisely!

Are You Liberal? Conservative? or Confused?" discusses political labels. What do they mean? Liberal, conservative, left, right, democrat, republican, moderate, socialist, libertarian, communist. What are their economic policies and what plans do their promoters have for your money? Clear, concise explanations. Facts and fallacies. Does inconsistency to the original American philosophy endanger liberty?
