William's room in the Jr. High and is very<br />

grateful for the privilege.<br />

The room is fitted with an eno board, which<br />

has been incorporated into the meetings as<br />

a vehicle to run instructional videos. After<br />

watching the video / instruction, club<br />

members have a hands on experience with<br />

what ever the topic of the day is. So far, the<br />

topics have been knots and knot tying and<br />

lures and baits, two topics important for our<br />

members to know.<br />

Other activities include the introduction of<br />

the club's own library of books and<br />

magazines. Members can browse during<br />

meetings, and materials are also being<br />

loaned out so students can enjoy them<br />

during their free time. In addition, plans are<br />

currently being made to build a bookshelf /<br />

cabinet to house the library. Eighth grader<br />

Erik Hartwig has been helping us out in this<br />

department. And, so you know, donations<br />

of books and magazines on fish, fishing,<br />

and the environment are now being<br />

accepted in the shop.<br />

At the same time, the club has also made<br />

it's mark on the Internet, with our own<br />

YouTube channel, @<strong>Komarek</strong>FishClub.<br />

The initiative was spearheaded by another<br />

eighth grader, Nick Mascitti, and is also in<br />

its early stages of development. We're<br />

looking forward to the day when our club<br />

Internet channel is up and fully operational.<br />

Lastly, as we move into the colder, winter<br />

months, we plan to continue our meetings<br />

in preparation for our field trip that will be<br />

held when the weather warms up again.<br />

And, we hope to have our first fish fry soon<br />

and are currently planning that, as well.<br />

BEFORE AND AFTER CARE<br />

<strong>Komarek</strong> Childcare is excited about the<br />

holiday season. We decorated the room with<br />

pretty snowflakes and twinkling lights, as<br />

holiday songs filled the air. And the children<br />

made beautiful beaded ornaments to hang on<br />

their trees at home. We will be playing<br />

Hanukkah games and making edible<br />

dreidels to celebrate the 8 days of Hanukkah.<br />

On Fri. Dec. 7th the Childcare will have its<br />

annual Holiday Party. We will be going to<br />

CiCi's Pizza, to play some games, mingle<br />

with our Childcare family, and celebrate the<br />

season together. We truly are one big family<br />

in Childcare. So from our family to yours<br />

Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!<br />
