Letter From The PresidentIt’s hard to resist the feelings of hope and joy that one gets from participating in nature’s rebirth in the springtime. For the Park District, springtime means preparing the wintry earth for soccer and baseball, turning over garden plot soil to bring forth nourishing crops and planting beautiful spring flowers bursting with color. Spring fever reawakens something in us all as we look forward to sunshine filled days after enduring yet another long winter.

As the New Year continues, we are ushering in a new and exciting era at the Park District and I am reminded of a quote by William Shakespeare “April hath put a spirit of youth in everything.” We are pleased to officially introduce our new park district website and new colors this year.

There are five key reasons why we redeveloping our website: • Greater ADA accessibility• User-friendlier navigation• New technology to enhance functionality• Dynamic content management• Improved overall user experience

The revitalized logo, unveiled in January 2010, symbolizes four park district key attributes –growth, strength and stability. The new logo design blended elements of the Park District’s existing ‘tree’– representing the life of our community and a zeal for parks and recreation – with the colors green and blue– representing trust, conservation, the environment and inspiring us to remain relevant after 85 years. The Arlington Heights Park District brand is undergoing an exciting transformation. Our new colors, new website and future enhancements to our programs, facilities and marketing and communications tools will reflect dynamic changes not only happening in our agency but in the park and recreation industry as a whole.

We hope to see you and your family shaking off the blustery winter with us this springtime. P.S. Once you’ve had the chance to navigate our new website, please take a few moments to give us your opinion at [email protected].

How is the Park District Program Guide delivered to residents?The Arlington Heights Park District uses a door to door service

to deliver the guide to residents prior to each program session

or four times per year.

Why choose a delivery service over bulk mailing through the Post Office?

There are several reasons:• The benefit of the delivery service is a significant cost

savings over mailing. It also allows us to target delivery to

Park District residents.

• The amount of time needed to deliver the Guide through the

delivery service is 1-3 days.

• Through the post office, the requirement for bulk mailing is

10-12 days.

• Because the service indicates delivery in three days, we can

find out in a timely manner those households that did not

receive a Guide and re-deliver sooner.

It is important to understand whatever the method of delivering the Guide; there is the potential for missed deliveries.

It is our goal to minimize the number of non-deliveries and work

with the delivery service to identify where problems occurred

and to improve the service. Our #1 priority is to make sure

those individuals and families, who want the Park District

Program Guide, receive it.

What if I don’t receive a Program Guide by the delivery date?We would like to know as soon as possible if you do not receive

a guide. Listed below is the delivery date for Summer 2011.

The delivery schedule for Fall 2011 through Summer 2012 will

be available in the next program guide.

Guide Delivery Date (Saturdays)

Summer 2011 April 23, 2011

Please mark your calendar and if you do not receive a Guide delivered near your front door or porch by the date indicated above; call 847.577.3003, ext 5353.

We consistently work with the service for front door/ porch delivery; however on occasion the guide may be delivered in your driveway.

There are three other options if you do not receive the

Guide by the delivery date; you may stop by any Park

District facility or view it online at ahpd.org. You may

also print the Guide from a pdf file located on the Park

District’s home page.

We hope this article provides you with additional information on

how the Program Guide is delivered and the process to follow for

re-delivery.

General Program InformationSpring Classes: The majority of Spring classes begin March 7.

However, some classes may have varying start/ending dates for

programs; please check class descriptions to confirm.

Don’t Delay: Many classes fill quickly. Remove the registration

form and keep it handy as you look through the Program Guide.

Spring resident registration begins at 10 am on February 8.

Though we try our best, due to the large

amount of information available in the Arlington

Heights Park District Program Guide, errors

before or after publication may occur. Changes

may happen in fees, schedules, program codes, etc. We

apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and when

errors do occur, our staff will advise you of the change as

quickly as possible. We will also attempt to keep information

on our website, ahpd.org as current as possible. Thank you for

your patience and understanding when these situations arise.

Important Class Cancellation Information: Program

Supervisors begin reviewing class enrollment and canceling

classes that do not meet minimum enrollment approximately

ONE WEEK prior to the class starting. It is extremely important

that you try to register for class choices no later than one week

before they begin.

Active Duty Military Policy: Individuals and families of active

military status are eligible for financial assistance for Park District

programs. These individuals must reside within the boundaries of

the Arlington Heights Park District. This policy is for active duty

military personnel including reservists called to duty.

Specific details are available at the time you apply. The fee

waivers will terminate 60 days after honorable discharge.

Documentation/ Military orders must be present to be eligible

for consideration. Please contact Jim Glueckert, Director of

Recreation and Facilities, for more information or to receive a

scholarship application. All requests will remain confidential.

Special Needs for ADA participants: If you would like the Park

District to make accommodations for your special needs:

Online registrants: Click the Special Needs button after the

Enrollment Summary on the Enroll in a Class page.

Drop-off, mail-in, and fax registrants: Please fill out the special

accommodations information on the registration form.

The Arlington Heights Park District is committed to accessibility

for all people providing Park District services, programs, and

activities, regardless of physical limitations in compliance

with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Sue Gwinnup,

Superintendent of Recreation, is the District’s ADA Compliance

Officer. If you need a special accommodation to participate

in any Park District function, contact Sue at 847.506.7870,

and she will be happy to assist you. Program participants

should complete the Special Accommodation section on

the registration form. This gives the program supervisor the

information they need to assist you. NOTE: The Recreation Park

community center is not an accessible facility.

Have You Moved or Changed Your Phone Number? Please

notify the Park District with your change of address or phone

number. Send us a change of address card from the post office.

We will need your old address and the new address to update

our computer information. It is important to update our records

so that confirmation post cards and your refunds are mailed to

the most current address. This is especially important for online

registration.

Assistance: Park District staff and program instructors are not

capable of providing bathroom assistance to those individuals

who cannot care for themselves. It is the participant’s

responsibility to make his/her own arrangements prior to

registering for any programs or activities, if they require this

type of assistance. Please contact Park District staff for further

information or clarification.

Scholarships: The Park District offers a Scholarship Program for

those unable to afford the full fee. Please call 847.577.3009 for

more information.

Classes On Religious Holidays: Within a program session,

classes may Winter on a day that residents honor as a religious

holiday. In an effort to be sensitive to all religions, class

participants may:

• Make up the class missed, if space exists or

• Have the fee pro-rated to reflect the day that must be

missed.

• Your program supervisor will be happy to assist you with

either option.

Age Requirement: When a class lists a minimum age, your

child must be that age when the program begins. Contact the

program supervisor if you have any questions.

Creating A Healthy EnvironmentIn response to the national concern of smoking at public

facilities, the Park District seeks to create a healthy environment

for employees, program participants, park guests and visitors.

Park District facilities and vehicles have been designated as

non-smoking areas. Our facilities include the buildings, fenced

outdoor pool areas and athletic fields.

Listed below are several safety guidelines the Park District encourages parents to follow when dropping their child(ren) off at a Park District program.

Parents are encouraged to please escort children to and from the building, pool, field, outdoor tennis court, etc.

Parents are also encouraged to take their child directly into the class or activity area.

Parents should try to stay with their child until the instructor arrives/ begins the class.

On occasion an instructor may encounter an emergency or an unexpected situation which causes them to be late or miss a class. If this occurs, the instructor notifies the program supervisor as quickly as possible and the supervisor addresses the situation as quickly as possible.

ATTENTION PARENTS![Recommended Safety Tips for Child Drop Off at Programs]

If a parent finds that an instructor has not shown up for a program, please contact the Park District Administration Center at 847.577.3000 during regular business hours Monday-Friday,9 am-5 pm.

CuRRENT ExhIbIT:On the Move in Arlington Heights

Saturday, January 15 - Sunday, April 24, 2011

Changing modes of transportation help define a changing way

of life. Throughout history residents have traveled over Indian

path, muddy road, railway and now expressways to get from one

end of the town to another. Using photographs and artifacts,

“On the Move in Arlington Heights” explores the changing ways

of getting around in the village through the years.

The Cycling Sisters’ Adventures on the Lewis & Clark Trail

Saturday, April 16, 2011; 2pm

Program and Exhibit Reception

Sisters and senior citizens, Evie Weber and Norma Witherbee

have toured the country by bicycle for over 30 years. In 2004

they covered eleven states and 3,400 miles following the

Lewis & Clark Trail. Their adventure of a lifetime titled The

Corps of Miss-Adventure (because they did not want to MISS

any adventures) started on May 20th, 2004 in Hartford, IL

and ended 88 days later in Astoria, Oregon. This program

brings to life their remarkable journey of cycling the back

roads of America, meeting her people and using their wits

to survive some incredible situations. Refreshments will be

served. Admission: $3 adult, $5 per family. Historical Society

members are free. Please pay at the door.

uPCOMINg ExhIbIT:Storytelling Through the Mail: Tall Tale Postcards

May 7-August 28, 2011

Imagine a land...where corn grows to the size of tree trunks;

where the lakes are so cold that the trout have fur coats; where

deer have become hunters and men are their prey. These

assorted oddities come vividly to life in Storytelling through

the Mail: Tall Tale Postcards. Tall tales are humorous stories of

exaggeration, fictional accounts that are presented as the truth.

Tall tale postcards, a popular visual form of telling these stories,

are created often through photographic trickery.

Arbor Day CelebrationThe first Arbor Day took place on April 10, 1872 it was the

brainchild of Julius Sterling Morton, a Nebraska journalist

and politician. Throughout his long and productive career,

Morton worked to improve agricultural techniques, but his most

important legacy is Arbor Day. For the homeowner, Arbor Day

is an excellent opportunity to take stock of the trees on your

property and plan for the future. Think about how planting

new trees might improve the look of your property or provide

wind or heat protection. Take a trip to your local nursery to

see what’s available and to get new ideas. Walk around your

neighborhood. Are there any public areas where tree planting

or tree maintenance might make a real difference to your

community? And, oh yes, plant a tree.

Park District/ Village Arbor Day Celebration, Friday, April 29

Berbecker Park-located at Miner and Wilshire

9:30 am Refreshments - 10:00 am Program

The Arlington Heights Park District and Village of Arlington

Heights will plant a tree in celebration of Arbor Day at

Berbecker Park. Village and Park District officials preside

over the event with a special event sponsored by the Windsor

Elementary Orff Club. Refreshments will be served.

The Windsor Elementary Orff Club is a performance group

that is audition based and only opened to fifth grade students,

currently consisting of 28 students that rehearse during their

recess time each week. The group is named after Carl Orff, a

famous composer who developed a methodology for teaching

younger children music, with the emphasis placed on rhythm!

The students will be performing various rhythms on percussion

instruments that correlate with an African drumming

curriculum. In addition, they will be playing percussion

ensembles with improvised parts.

“people first” attitude and was always ready to offer a helping

hand to family, friends and strangers alike.

Parent’s Day Camp MeetingWednesday, May 25 , 7-8 pm

Frontier Park, 1933 N. Kennicott Drive, 847.577.3015

If your child is enrolled in Sunny Meadows or Arlington

Adventure Day Camp, join us for an informative hour sharing

specific details of our camp activities. We’ll discuss field trips,

extended stay, swim time, lunch and more. There will be time

for questions.

WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING TO CAMP EACH DAY Starting with the first day of camp, please make sure your child

brings a swimsuit, towel, water bottle, sunscreen and lunch. On

Fridays, we will provide a lunch for all the campers. A daily drink

will also be available but your child is free to bring their own

drink if desired. Additional information on the camp program

can be found in the Day Camp Parent Manual available on the

Park District website at ahpd.org, under programs, camps.

Day camp will not be held on Monday, July 4th.

Day CampCamp Includes: Arts and crafts, outdoor sports

and games, dramatics, songs, nature lore, daily swim, lunch for

the weekly Taste of Camp, daily drink, special events, plus a field

trip and guest speaker every two weeks. Swim lessons and tennis

lessons are available for an additional fee.

Activities vary each session, so campers can sign up for more

than one session without repetition. Separate activities have been

planned for both age groups. More emphasis is placed on sports in

Arlington Adventure.

Please make sure you provide a lunch for your child every day

but Fridays. A daily drink will be available. A camp t-shirt will be

included in the fee this year. One shirt will be given for the entire

summer. There will be an extra charge for additional shirts.

Day Camp: Tennis LessonsParticipants who attend camp (Sunny Meadows or Arlington

Adventure) at Camelot Park and Frontier Park will be able to take

the same high-quality tennis lessons that we offer through our

renowned outdoor tennis lessons program but at a significant

camp savings. The lessons will be taught by experienced,

well-prepared instructors from Heritage Tennis Club. These lessons

will provide kids with new skills in a great game as well as variety

in their routines. Eight lessons per two-week session will be taught

on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Sign up for one

session or as many as you like. Day camp will not be held on

Monday, July 4th.(RL)

Day Camp: Swim Lessons @ CamelotAgain, this year, there will be the option to take swim lessons

during day camp. These lessons will be available to any Sunny

Meadows or Arlington Adventure camper. You must sign up for

swim lessons each session that you are interested in participating.

There will not be lessons available at Pioneer Park, because

camp only meets three days a week and field trips are held on

Wednesdays. Lessons at Camelot, Frontier and Heritage Park will

be held on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays for 40 minutes and

taught by the Aquatic Department Staff. Lessons will not be held

Session V at Pioneer Park. Day camp will not be held on Monday,

July 4th. (LM)

to develop athletic skills and improve total body coordination in

an atmosphere of teamwork, sportsmanship and fun. Eight to

passing, play making and all around teamwork necessary for

basketball, soccer and volleyball. These are the ingredients that

lead to success in any sport. The camp is held in the community

gym at Betsy Ross, and on the grounds at Patriot Park. The

The Park District offers two different Karate Programs: The

Personal safety skills and self-defense skills are also taught at

the appropriate levels.

The Kid’s Karate Club and Safety Time Program specializes in

teaching the martial arts and safety to children ages 4-15 years.

The program revolves around family involvement and stresses

respect. Parents may attend class with their child by signing up

for the Parent Helper Program.

Both programs are motivational and encourage participants to

do their best in all activities, including school and other sports.

Are the Levels and Association of Color of Belts the same?

No. Because these are distinctively different programs, the Levels

the same Level or considered at the same Color of Belt.

Don’t be... it’s actually easier than finding it in the daylight.

a foursome during one of the scheduled outings open to the

public. Cost: $22 per person covers greens fees and equipment.

QuICKSTART TENNIS PROgRAMForest View is proud to offer the Quickstart Tennis method of teaching for young junior players as the first of three phases of our

lesson program. We believe that this is the best way to get students playing tennis at young ages with solid technique. Racquets, balls,

and courts will be sized appropriately for each age, size, and ability level with the goal being to get kids playing tennis earlier in the

learning process. These lessons will look more interactive with emphasis being placed on movement and body awareness, culminating

in early rallies between student and instructor and soon thereafter from student to student. We are looking forward to grooming the next

generation of northwest suburban tennis players with this initiative.

Quickstart Tennis LessonsChildren are taught tennis technique and rules of the game in a format that is scaled to their size and ability. This miniature version of

adult tennis allows the young beginner and advanced beginner to play and learn tennis at the same time. (NA)

Academy Pro Placement

FOREST vIEW ACAdEMy PROgRAMForest View is excited to offer the Academy Program for competitive junior players. Learning perfect strokes

is a worthy goal, but only if they can help you win the point. Tennis cannot be learned in a classroom, so

students in the Academy program should expect to hit more than listen. Competitive experiences are not

the test of your achievement. They are simply part of the process of learning to compete. The focus of

training in the Academy Program will be on teaching players how to apply their individual skills to various

levels of competition. For information on placement in the Academy Program please contact Head Tennis

Professional, Jason Stanislaw at 847.640.2574 or [email protected]

Requirements for participation in the Academy Program are:

• Forest View Junior Membership

• Competitive Play (Tournaments, High School Teams, Junior Match Play Program)

Academy ProgramAcademy Program is designed for juniors actively involved in competitive tennis. Forest View membership is a requirement for this

program. Placement is by pro staff recommendation. (NA)

Spring Break Match Playand Tennis ClinicsOur Spring Break Tennis Programs are a big hit, featuring

innovative drills and games to give players of all abilities an

ultimate high energy tennis program. Programs will be offered

Monday-Friday, March 21-25. Sign up for one day or all five days!

• Quickstart Tennis 5-7 years (1-1:30 pm)

• Quickstart Tennis 8-10 years (1:30-2:30 pm): The easier it

is for kids to play tennis, the greater the chance that they will

stick with it. Like other sports that bring their games down

to scale, from a smaller diamond for Little League baseball

to a shorter goal and smaller ball in basketball, students in

the QuickStart program will play on courts that are smaller,

use racquets that are shorter and play with a foam or low

compression felt ball that have been designed for success.

• Advanced Beginner/Intermediate 9-13 years (11 am-12:30 pm): This

program is geared for existing players who want to improve

stroke technique and footwork. Students will drill and play to

develop consistency and practice the rules of tennis.

• Match Play - Intermediate/Tournament Training 12-17 yrs

(2:30-4 pm):This program is designed for intermediate players

who are interested in getting tournament experience. Match

Play will challenge players to compete in a round robin format

using the skills and experience they have developed from years

of lessons and practice! For program fees and registration

details see our website, ahpd.org/htc, or call the Club to

request a copy of our Program Flyer.

When is the Spring sign up deadline?Gr K-8: Registration began October 23 and ends Friday,

February 4 at 5 pm. Any registration accepted after this

date will encounter a $25 late fee and will be placed on a

waitlist. Teams are formed by the availability of coaches

and the time of your registration. Although an unlimited

number of children are allowed to register between

October 31 and February 4, if the number of coaches

is insufficient to form enough teams for all registered

children, the Park District may be forced to refund

registration fees. We suggest that you register early

to increase your chance of getting into the program.

Being placed on the wait list does not guarantee a space

in the program. Placement will be based on volunteer

coach availability and space available on teams. Games

will begin April 16 and conclude June 4. All games

will be played on Saturday except for one weekend

during the season Division I, II and III will be played on

Sunday. Children must have a soccer ball available for

practice. After February 4, you may sign up to be placed

on a wait list at your local Community Center (Camelot,

permission forms.

Preschool Classes

For 3-5 Year Olds

About the Instructors: Skilled professionals schooled in early

childhood and/or elementary education, teach the preschool

program. Our instructors are kept informed of current trends

in education by attending early childhood workshops and

conferences throughout the year. Our teachers help the children

develop new interests, learn good work habits, follow directions,

socialize, share and establish self-direction.

About the Program:

The preschool program provides a carefully

planned curriculum, developed with the

guidance of District 25 Kindergarten

teachers. Our program is designed to give

your child the tools and experiences they need to

assure a positive transition from preschool to kindergarten.

Some ongoing skills emphasized during our two year program

are recognition and printing of first name with upper and lower

case letters, naming basic colors and shapes, finding upper

and lower cases letters when named, and reciting number 1-20.

Our teachers encourage creative freedom through free play,

imaginative play, arts and crafts, music, science, and gross and

fine motor activities. The philosophy of our preschool is to allow

the children to learn through play.

Children in preschool must be toilet trained; pull-ups are not

acceptable. Children in the 3-4 year old program must be 3

by September 1, 2011; those in the 4-5 year old program

must be 4 by September 1, 2011. Proof of age is required at

the time of registration. The 3-4 year old program requires

a parent to help throughout the year assisting the instructor.

This averages out to five times per year provided the class has

15-16 children enrolled. More assistance is required for smaller

classes. Siblings may not accompany the parent helper. Your full

attention is needed in class. When you assist, you bring snacks,

juice, and napkins for the children in the program. Sign-up for

the parent helper dates is conducted in the fall. The 4-5 year old

classes provide a teacher and teacher’s aide. However, parents

are still required to provide snacks, juice and napkins.

Children currently enrolled in the 3-4 year old program receive

priority in registering for the 4-5 year old program. Some

programs may be full at the February 26 general registration. All

participants are required to provide snacks, juice, and napkins

for the children in the program several times throughout the

school year. Sign-up for the snack dates is conducted in the fall.

Preschool Open HouseCome visit our Preschool Open House this

Winter. We are offering four preschool

sites conveniently located in your

neighborhood. You’ll have the

chance to meet our compassionate

and enthusiastic preschool teachers

during one of four open houses. All of

our teachers are skilled professionals

with degrees in early childhood or

elementary education. Our curriculum

incorporates Illinois Early Learning Standards. Check out our

classrooms held in large, bright spacious rooms. We have room

to roam with plenty of open space and outdoor play areas as

well as access to gymnasiums and other park district amenities.

Please join us at Camelot and Recreation Park from 7- 8 pm

on February 10. Come and visit Frontier Park and Pioneer Park

from 7-8 pm on February 9 .We look forward to meeting you!

High School Water Polo MatchesThere will be high school water polo matches on Tuesday,

Wednesday and Thursday afternoons in March, April, and early

May. These matches only take place in the lap and dive pool area,

but they do generate large crowds in and around the facility. The

afternoon matches are free to the public to watch. Call us to find

out when a match is scheduled and then stop by and check out

this exciting sport being played at the high school level. The Park

District is offering a youth water polo program this spring.

Summer 2011 Swim Lesson ScheduleYou can view the Summer 2011 swim lesson schedule on line. Visit

ahpd.org to view the times, dates, and locations of your favorite

summer swim classes. We hope that this schedule will help you better

plan your summer swimming fun. Registration for the summer swim

classes will begin on May.

Scout Swim Merit BadgeDoes your scouting group need their aquatic merit badge? Let the

professional aquatic staff at Olympic Indoor Swim Center lead your

scouts through a night of aquatic safety activities. Scout Swim

Merit Badge nights can be booked on Wednesday from 8-9 pm.

A maximum of 10 scouts can be accommodated and all scouts

must be accompanied by a leader. All pool rules apply during

Scout Swim. The fee is $5 per scout. We can customize a program

to fit your needs or use our own safety program. This program is

designed for scouts in Indian Guides, Indian Princesses, Brownies,

Cub Scouts, Webelos and other young scouting groups. This

program is not designed to meet the requirements of the Boys

Scouts of America Aquatics Badge. Leaders must make advance

reservations for Scout Swim Merit Badge nights by calling Tim

Jaskiewicz at 847.577.3047.

Here’s what has to be done. All individuals and families that either

currently have a pool pass or intend to have one for summer 2011 will need

to come to a Park District facility and bring in some form of ID that validates

your home address and proof that all members of your household (if you

have a family pass) meet the District’s criteria for being eligible to be a part

of a family pass.

Beat the rush and avoid the lines. Starting February 29, you can

reestablish your household and even take new pictures without

purchasing your new pass. Then at a later date you can pay the fee and

receive your new cards. A detailed letter will be sent to all pool pass

households in mid-February with more information. Current pool pass

cards will not be valid after May 27.

Call 847.577.3000 or 847.577.3025 for more information.

Changes in Pool Pass Membership

The Park District

has upgraded its

computer system

and as a result all pool

pass households will

need to be reestablished

for the 2011 summer

swim season.

New pictures will need to

be taken and new pool

pass cards will be issued.

Special 3-Week Session Dates:

Monday May 9 through Wednesday May 25

First Day of Lessons:It is important for parents to attend the first day of the session

for swim lessons to find out how the lessons operate and who

to speak with if you have questions. On the first day of class,

participants find out who their instructor is, who the Lesson

Coordinators are, when Parent’s Day is held and the general

operation of the lesson program for that particular pool. You

will be able to pick up a parent letter, which has a listing of any

conflict dates for your convenience. You will also be able to pick

up a parent packet which has a detailed listing of all the skills

that are taught in Water Babies through Swim School. You can

also view this online at ahpd.org.

Advancing LevelsParticipants can advance levels in Junior Swim School, Swim

School, Swim School II, Semi-Private Lessons, and Private

Lessons. Participants are evaluated by a lesson coordinator

periodically throughout the session. There is no magic number

of how many times a child will be tested. It is an unreal

expectation to test every participant every day. The lesson

coordinator discusses the daily lesson activity with the swim

instructors prior to class and reviews the class sheets to plan

their evaluations for the day. Every day is different and there

is not a set pattern in how evaluations are done. It is never our

intent to frustrate participants or parents. Our goal is for the

participant to learn and have fun.

Every child is different. Please do not compare your child’s

experience in swim lessons to another. Children learn differently.

They obtain their coordination at different ages. They obtain

the concept of getting better or practicing at different ages.

There are times when a child may not advance for a while due

to circumstances out of our and your child’s control. When this

happens it can be discouraging for your child. There are times

when your child may need to take a break from swim lessons

for a session. If that happens, rest assured, we will still be here

ready and willing to welcome you back and get you swimming

again.

Parent’s DayParent’s days are held for Jr. Swim School and Swim School.

Parents are invited poolside to observe their child’s skills and to

talk with the swim instructor.

Swim School (5-12 yrs)The ratio is six students per one instructor. These fun and exciting classes introduce and help develop stroke coordination and comfort

in the water. The program has ten levels to help your child learn beginning through advanced swimming and safety skills. While many of

the activities are repetitive, studies indicate that this is the best way for young children to learn. Frequency is the key to water adjustment

and learning. All children learn at a different pace and will advance through the ten levels at a different pace. Just because a child does

not advance a level does not mean they are not learning. Try to attend all classes and include swimming in your family’s recreational

activities. Did you know that once your child graduates from swim school they can still register for Swim School and participate in the

tenth and final level, Graduate Swim School? This level focuses on refining the six swim strokes, and building endurance. Did you know

that you can view all of the swim school level requirements on-line? Visit ahpd.org/swimming/SwimLessonInfo.htm to view them and

other information about our swim program.

Participants register for classes by time periods and our staff will evaluate each child’s ability on the first day of class. Therefore the

first day of class will take longer to get started due to attendance and ability evaluations. If you took swim lessons during the prior

season, please bring your end of lesson sheet so staff can properly place your child. We honor sheets from one season prior. Children

can wear swim goggles. If your child has long hair we recommend they wear a swim cap or tie their hair back. Please remember there

are no make-ups for missed classes. (SN)

The Drive to Revive Memorial ParkHonoring the service and sacrifice of veterans and their families.

Memorial Park is the only park in Arlington Heights exclusively

dedicated to veterans. Located at Fremont and Chestnut

Streets, each year this site serves as a gathering point for the

community to pay tribute to veterans from all the branches of

the armed services in a solemn ceremony at the closing of the

Memorial Day Parade.

Committed to honoring the sacrifices of Civil War veterans,

Dr. John Best, a Civil War veteran himself, donated land to the

Village for a Soldiers Memorial in 1883 to serve as a tribute to

those who had served and sacrificed for the Union. In 1925,

the Village donated the Park to the new Arlington Heights Park

District and the new Memorial Park was dedicated to honoring

the sacrifice of all veterans throughout our nation’s history.

Working with the Park District since 2006 to rebuild Memorial

Park, the Drive to Revive Memorial Park Committee and other

organizations developed a beautiful new design and the park

now features the service seals of all six US Military Services;

a bronze timeline marking the 15 conflicts in which Arlington

Heights veterans have served; and commemorative bricks to

honor individual veterans. To date, over 300 individual veterans

are honored at Memorial Park. By purchasing a Commemorative

Brick in the Central Plaza of Memorial Park you may honor any veteran

from anywhere, from any service, from anytime (peace or war).

For a Memorial Park brochure and brick order form, log

onto the Memorial Park webpage: ahparkfoundation.org/

memorialparkfund or call the Park District at 847.577.3000.

For questions, please call Greg Padovani, Chairman of the Drive

to Revive Memorial Park Committee at 847.392.9113.
