A 3D pen is a fun and useful tool for “drawing” three-dimensional objects! 3D pens are similar to hot glue guns but, instead of glue sticks, 3D pens melt plastic filament allowing students to use their imagination and creativity to create in three dimensions. Taught by Mendota staff, Mr. Vitiritti.

Do you like to play games? Come join Ms. Thul and Ms. Rimmele for an afternoon of games and fun!  Practice games such as: Candyland, Sorry, Mancala, Chutes and Ladders, Connect Four and on!  Taught by Mendota teachers, Ms. Flies & Ms. Struzyk.

Kids will learn collaboration, problem solving, and storytelling, in the safe to “fail” environment of their imaginations while playing the most popular role playing strategy game in the world. Here they will create characters and be put in environments in which they will need to solve problems, avoid obstacles, and defeat enemies while working toward a common goal. Taught by former Mendota student, Kari Bruestle. 

Kids yoga classes are fun, inspirational, educational, and unique every time. We learn about our bodies, our emotions, and our energy through age appropriate yoga poses, creative movement, games, breath exercises, and stories. Students learn physical skills such as strength, balance, and flexibility as well as universal concepts such as cooperation, compassion and gratitude. Taught by Grace with Green Lotus.

Welcome to The Sketch Pad, where young artists learn to put their imagination on paper! In this introductory drawing class, students will explore fundamental art techniques using a variety of materials, including pencils, charcoal, and markers. We'll focus on the basics of line, shape, and shading to bring characters, landscapes, and their own creative ideas to life. With fun, hands-on projects and supportive guidance, every child will build confidence in their artistic skills and leave with a gallery of masterpieces. Taught by Mendota staff, Kristine Cantey
