Re: Classes at LaMotte Park
This summer Centerville Elementary will be undergoing construction. We generally run some
classes and activities out of Centerville in the summer, but this summer there is too much uncertainty
to plan on having classes there that can be offered safely.
However, we still want to be able serve the community. I am inquiring about using LaMotte Park for
a couple programs. The first would be for youth ages 4-7, for a multi-sport experience in the
afternoon from 1-4pm. Dates would be July 12-15.
The other would be for an evening soccer program for ages 2-4. This program would take place
Wednesday nights from 4-6:30, with a couple different sessions during that time. Dates would be
July 21-August 11.
Community education would do the promotion, registration, parent contact, provide the instructor
and insurance. I would just be looking for a large green space and bathroom/port a pottie
availability.
Let me know if you have questions or would like more information. Thank you

$79 + tax
The large opening and flat back design allow for easy
installation and placement of the downspout while
the spoke and wheel pattern in the top of the barrel
keeps it child and pet safe.
The overflow connection at the back of the barrel
allows excess water to flow down and underneath the
barrel to direct it away from foundations.
Spigots on the side of the barrel allow you to connect
multiple Rain Catcher barrels in-series for
easy expansion of your rain water storage capacity.
The aluminum mesh screen keeps out debris and
mosquitoes to keep the water clear and keep your
family safe from insect borne illnesses.
Includes debris screen, garden hose, shut-off thumb
valve, hanging hose clip, overflow hose, and linking kit
Place them around your home to catch fresh chlorine-free water as it pours from your downspouts –
Water that would otherwise make its way into storm sewers only to be wasted. Rain barrels not only
save you money but lessen the strain on water resources.
NEW FOR 2021: Made out of 100% recycled plastic!
