Bridgeland Opens Nutrition, Art Classes
Adults will have the chance to expand their horizons and perhaps even keep a New Year’s resolution or two with the introduction of two classes in Bridgeland.
A basic nutrition class will be held one Monday each month at 7 p.m. at the Lakeland Activity Center. The one-hour class will include information on basic nutrition, lifestyle changes and food choices, along with a question-and-answer session. Plus, participants in the May class will exchange healthy recipes. Days are Feb. 7, March 7, April 4 and May 2. Cost is $30 for residents and $40 for non-residents.
No experience is necessary for a new Bridgeland art class. Step-by-Step Art will guide participants through painting a 16- by 20-inch work of art. Paints, easels and canvases will be supplied and participants are encouraged to bring snacks and drinks. Classes will be held from 7-9:30 p.m. Feb. 11 and 18 and March 11 and 18. Cost is $35 for residents and $45 for non-residents.
