The Town of East Windsor is currently partnered
with the Vernon Public Schools Adult Education
program. Through our affiliation with Vernon,
East Windsor residents are now able to access a
more extensive range of educational and
enrichment offerings than ever before. This
partnership has also benefited the district due
to Vernon supplying a number of computer stations
and a printer for the Adult Education program.

Whats New With East Windsor Adult Education...
East Windsors Adult Education Program has gone
through some major changes in the past one and a
half years besides our new partnership with
Vernon.

• First of all, the brochure has been redesigned
  and reflects a more professional appearance. It
  is now digitized and professionally printed.
• Another major improvement to the program is that
  many new enrichment classes are now being offered
  along with new instructors added to teach these
  courses. Last term, we were able to offer a total
  of 31 Adult Personal Enrichment classes. This is
  quite an increase from the 2005 brochure in which
  8 enrichment classes were offered. New classes
  and instructors are being added each term.With
  the increase in exposure and interest, more
  instructors continue to contact us to be included
  in our program of studies. Vernon and Windsor
  Locks have expressed interest in sharing
  instructors with East Windsor.
• New classes currently proposed for the Fall 2007
  term include Pilates, Health Wellness, Career
  Changing, Resume Building, Excel, PowerPoint,
  Line Dancing, and Hunter Safety Classes.

  photographs
• Purchasing physical fitness equipment such as a
  portable PA system with head microphone for
  physical fitness instructors and purchasing new
  exercise equipment for a variety of fitness
  programs
• Offering enrichment classes at Senior Citizen
  Center
• Designate one double room area at the High School
  for Adult Education daytime classes and storage
  of exercise equipment.
