Good morning, Burlington!

As a reminder, school isn’t happening in Burlington today.

But, do you know what is happening? It’s Rec Department registration day! Be sure to review the Recreation Department catalog and make your selections ahead of registration opening at 6:00.

Many see the Recreation Catalog as something for kids—but it’s so much more than that. Our award-winning recreation department truly offers something for every age, area of interest, and ability/fitness level. Just look at these cool offerings:

• Pre-School Fun & Run

• Kids’ Yoga
• Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for ages 7-15
• Beginner French Lessons
• 3D Printing, Coding, and Design
• SafeSitter Babysitting Course
• Voice lessons for ages 12+
• Burilngton walks at Mary Cummings Park, Sawmill Brook, and the Landlocked Forest
• Family DiscGolf Clinic
• Family Pizza in the Trees
• Sneaker Prom
• Adaptive Karate
• Therapeutic Horseback Riding
• Social Latin Dance
• Introduction to Golf
• Ayurvedic Approach: Herbs for Healthy Gut
• Lift & Burn
• Crank of Dawn cycling
• Drop-in Pickleball

• Whist

There are also some one-time themed activities and community events, like:

• Bunny Hop dance class on April 7
• Mother’s Day Flower Arranging on May 12
• Eggs-cursion
• Family Fishing Festival
• Community Yard Sale

And this is just a fraction of what you can find in the Recreation catalog. I hope you check it out and register for something fun today!

Sports and Activities

Unfortunately, the season ended last night for our Lady Devils hockey team. They put up a hard fight but ended up falling 3-0 to the Bishops of Archbishop Williams.

There’s nothing else in the official sports calendar until spring scrimmages start, but if you know of an activity that I don’t yet report on, please do let me know and I will be sure it makes it into the Buzz! I have recent or upcoming stories on the robotics and mock trial teams, and would love to continue reporting on other organizations in Burlington!
