As children progress through the sessions and become ready for more independence, parents can choose to transition to a less active role in the class, helping prepare the child to transition to the next level.

march is Disability Awareness month and The Indiana governor’s Council for People with Disabilities theme for March 2016 is, “i Like you Just the Way you are.”

We strongly believe that all community members are unique, important, and valuable.

this year we have partnered with best buddies of indiana to produce a beautiful performance about passions, trials, and strengths written and performed by people with disabilities called,

“i see you.”

the first act of “i see you” will be monologues written by people with disabilities about their life experiences. During the second act audience members will receive the

opportunity to tell stories that will be performed on the spot by The roundabout Playback Troupe. The roundabout Playback Troupe is an inclusive group of actors with and without

disabilities that use music, movement, and improvisation to perform stories.

Join us for this unique and special performance on march 18th or 19th at 6pm at the monon Community Center. you can purchase your tickets today at the east or West Desks for only $5.

During march take a picture of someone you love at either our community center or one of our parks and use the hashtag #ccpr #ilikeyou. We want to create awareness that all people are wonderful just

the way they are. We will announce picture winners at our march 18th and 19th performances. Winners will receive one free Waterpark cabana rental to use this summer!

Please join us this march to help increase awareness and create acceptance for all people.

We are getting ready to celebrate our 25 years of service to our community and saving some time to reflect on the past with the celebration set to begin in January. Sit back, put your feet up, and answer a few of these questions. How many trails have you walked? How many times have you visited The Waterpark? How many programs have you participated in? How many children do you have in Extended School Enrichment? When Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation began, it consisted of a few properties of land and a handful of staff. It quickly evolved into a provider for all ages, levels, and abilities. Services have included top-notch programming, state-of-the-art fitness and aquatic facilities, and a team

of dedicated and innovative employees. Today, Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation has over hundreds of staff who help transform the department’s mission and vision into a reality. The 1990s were a decade of growth. The 2000s have been dedicated to change. Today and the future will be a decade of continued innovation. Our 25th anniversary will be celebrated beginning January 2016. Come find your next park experience with us.

Stay tuned to carmelclayparks.com and to our Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram accounts for upcoming celebrations and ways you can help promote and experience our parks and services in 2016. #25years #findyourexperience
