www.columbusmessenger.com STORYBOOK Continued from page 1 “He was enthusiastic about the idea and suggested the newly created nature trail at Westchester park off of Dietz Road,” said Kantner. “It was the perfect place. It is easily accessible to all our Indian Trail families and the public as well.” Kantner applied on behalf of the school library for a Library Services and Technology Act CARES Act Mini-Grant in August to build the trail and received the $3,000 grant from the Federal Institute for Museum and Library Services, which was awarded through the State Library of Ohio. The grant paid for the entirety of the project. No district funds were used for the trail. “This covered all materials and labor to create the trail” said Kantner. “The school district’s maintenance department made the trail posts and installed them in April. The actual pages of the storybook will be created by each class at Indian Trail. We hope to have the second grade book completed and installed on the trail around <strong>May</strong> 8. We will then rotate the first grade and kindergarten books throughout the summer.” PAID ADVERTISING PRIDE Soccer for fun and fitness PRIDE Soccer Club (PSC) is thrilled to be celebrating 17 years of developing soccer players and people! PSC has over 600 players on 40 different teams, ages 6-18! Tryouts and team formation for the <strong>2021</strong>-2022 season will look differently this year. PSC will be offering opportunities for new players to join team training sessions in <strong>May</strong> instead of only attending an open tryout. All interested players need to register online for tryouts to be considered for a team and contact the PRIDE SC Boys or Girls Director if they want to attend a team session. Open tryouts begin June 1. How do I register and get more information? Go to www.pridesoccerclub.com, click login/register in top right, find <strong>2021</strong>-2022 tryouts. At what age can players join? Players can join at U7 (2015 birth year) and play U8. What is the difference between PRIDE SC and recreation soccer? PSC provides a more developmentally focused program that will better help prepare players for the next level than a recreation program. This is accomplished by a professional, licensed coaching staff in a competitive environment with 3 times as many training opportunities. Where are training/games? PSC trains and hosts home games in <strong>Canal</strong> <strong>Winchester</strong>, Groveport, Ashville and Grove City. League games and tournaments are mostly in Central Ohio but can be throughout Ohio depending on the age and level of the team. Maintenance workers built and installed 21 wood stands along a trail that winds its way through a grove of trees in Westchester Park. Individual book pages are protected under a plastic cover, along with interactive activities and a QR code that can be scanned to play recordings of children reading the page. “This has blossomed into something more than we imagined,” said Locker, “and is something for the students, their families and the community as well.” Dr. Bender Scholarships to be awarded <strong>Canal</strong> <strong>Winchester</strong> City Council announced two $1,000 scholarships will be awarded in honor of the late Dr. John Bender, a former council member for 17 years.
