Director’s Message Hello Mequon-Thiensville Community Members: Thank you for taking time to read this message and for looking through this amazing selection of Fall opportunities. We have a vast selection of offerings this Fall for all ages, I hope you can find something to your liking. Some of our new exciting programs include Outdoor Skills, Virtual Adult Conversational Spanish, Bringing Home Baby and Caring as New Parents, Cartonnage, and Wreath Making. Our third school year of the Kids’ Campus program has finished up and although we had an tough year with COVID-19, it was still very successful. We had 200 total kids in our program with over 11,000 registrations. Certainly would have seen more without COVID-19 present, but we are hoping next school year will be much higher. Plans are underway and looking to see how we can better the program. REGISTER NOW for ’21-’22 school year!! If you have any questions or comments on the program, please contact Elisa Salvo, our new Kids’ Campus Director at 262-238-7548 or [email protected]. Elisa worked for the Kids’ Campus program in ’18-’19 and ’19-’20 as site supervisor at Donges Bay. She did an exceptional job while there and the kids and parents raved about her. We are extremely excited to welcome Elisa back and we look forward to bigger and better things with her in charge. Please join us in welcoming Elisa to the team once again!
