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 />
