The Joy of Learning...it's not just for kids!

At LVCC's annual Staff Development Days, employees sharpened their skills and explored an exciting range of topics, including Critters in the Classroom, Cooking with Kids, When Toddlers Don't Eat, Inclusion, Cultural Sensitivity, Writing Lesson Plans, Storytelling with Yoga, Science Exploration, and much more. The two days of in-service training provide the only opportunity for all LVCC staff to gather in one place and learn from each other, as well as from guest experts. It's also a time for honors, awards, teambuilding and fun!

Dance Mania!

Dance instructor Jessica introduced the rhythms and moves of salsa to the school-age class at LVCC's Campus Center--and before long, the whole group was stepping to the beat, exercising and having fun! Jessica, a teacher from Repertory Dance Theatre in Allentown, has been leading weekly dance classes at Campus Center as part of LVCC's "Get Moving" summer school-age fitness program. A big thank you goes to Two Rivers Health and Wellness Foundation and AmeriHealth Mercy Health Plan for supporting a whole summer of healthy activities!

Liquid Nitrogen is Cool!

Representatives from Air Products visited students at LVCC's Fowler Center (Bethlehem) to share a liquid nitrogen presentation. There were a slew of "ews" and "ahs" as students helped the experts from Air Products test a number of hypothesises.

Our friends at Air Products'recently gave a generous gift to LVCC to help us convert to a more efficient heating system at our Fowler Center! Thank you, Air Products!

Bop, Twist, Kick

During P.E. class today, campers at LVCC's Stones Crossing location (Easton) learned to play a new game -- similar to rock, paper, scissors -- with their feet! The video below shows some of today's warm-up exercise, "Bop, Twist, Kick."

This summer, LVCC was able to provide physical education classes in our Northampton County locations thanks to generous funding by our friends at Two Rivers Health & Wellness Foundation.
