Candidate Master coach Kyle Jones welcomes students of all ages and levels to come learn the storied game of chess. Whether you are just learning the game or an experienced veteran, coach Jones makes sure to integrate all levels into his lesson planning to ensure everyone is able to learn. In addition to the comprehensive lessons, Mr. Jones utilizes a chess playing interface (lichess.org) to provide the students with an opportunity to practice their techniques. The second half of the class is featured on lichess.org. Once enrolled, students are given access to our private club room to participate in weekly tournament games. The tournament is an arena format that allows students to play as many games as possible within the assigned time limit. In real life tournaments, children must wait until everyone has finished their games and are only given a set number of games to play. This opportunity provides students with the means to play as soon as a new match is made available. Less waiting and more playing! Additionally, games are recorded by the computer allowing students to review moves and tactics afterward. Instructor: Kyle JonesKyle has coached more than 20 schools over the past 20 years. Kyle graduated from The Ohio State University with a Bachelor's in Science in Psychology, is completing his Master’s in Early Childhood Education, earned his Protecting God’s Children certification, and has achieved the titles of Candidate Master (classical) and National Master (blitz) from the United States Chess Federation. From player to coach, Kyle has been a part of more than 40 state championship titles and 15 national titles. He was crowned the 2015-16 State of Ohio Speed Chess Champion (3rd title overall). Additionally, he was honored by Fox Sports Ohio, the Dispatch, 10tv, the Governor, the Mayor, the Board of Education, the Senate and the House of Representatives for his chess achievements.

Studies have shown the positive benefits of yoga for all ages. Yoga involves linking the mind, body, and breath. You do not have to be flexible or fit to start practicing yoga. Specifically designed for older adults, Beginner Yoga for Seniors, will teach you breathing techniques to calm the mind and/or energize the body. You will learn various poses to stretch and strengthen your muscles. The number one rule is that you do not do anything that hurts. This is not a gym workout. It is a body/mind work in. By paying attention to your body, you will learn to be more present and mindful. This is a mat yoga class. You need to be able to get down to the floor and back up again. If that is a problem, consider Chair Yoga. It has the same benefits.Instructor: Deborah Forsblom, RYT 500, Certified Chair Yoga, Certified Trauma Sensitive Yogaforsblombd@gmail.com; (614) 253-2292Deborah has been teaching yoga for more than eight years.

The second half of the class is featured on lichess.org. Once enrolled, students are given access to our private club room to participate in weekly tournament games. The tournament is an arena format that allows students to play as many games as possible within the assigned time limit. In real life tournaments, children must wait until everyone has finished their games and are only given a set number of games to play. This opportunity provides students with the means to play as soon as a new match is made available. Less waiting and more playing! Additionally, games are recorded by the computer allowing students to review moves and tactics afterward. Instructor: Kyle JonesKyle has coached more than 20 schools over the past 20 years.

Candidate Master coach Kyle Jones welcomes students of all ages and levels to come learn the storied game of chess. Whether you are just learning the game or an experienced veteran, coach Jones makes sure to integrate all levels into his lesson planning to ensure everyone is able to learn. In addition to the comprehensive lessons, Mr. Jones utilizes a chess playing interface (lichess.org) to provide the students with an opportunity to practice their techniques. The second half of the class is featured on lichess.org. Once enrolled, students are given access to our private club room to participate in weekly tournament games. The tournament is an arena format that allows students to play as many games as possible within the assigned time limit. In real life tournaments, children must wait until everyone has finished their games and are only given a set number of games to play. This opportunity provides students with the means to play as soon as a new match is made available. Less waiting and more playing! Additionally, games are recorded by the computer allowing students to review moves and tactics afterward. Instructor: Kyle JonesKyle has coached more than 20 schools over the past 20 years. Kyle graduated from The Ohio State University with a Bachelor's in Science in Psychology, is completing his Master’s in Early Childhood Education, earned his Protecting God’s Children certification, and has achieved the titles of Candidate Master (classical) and National Master (blitz) from the United States Chess Federation. From player to coach, Kyle has been a part of more than 40 state championship titles and 15 national titles. He was crowned the 2015-16 State of Ohio Speed Chess Champion (3rd title overall). Additionally, he was honored by Fox Sports Ohio, the Dispatch, 10tv, the Governor, the Mayor, the Board of Education, the Senate and the House of Representatives for his chess achievements.

You will learn various poses to stretch and strengthen your muscles. The number one rule is that you do not do anything that hurts. This is not a gym workout. It is a body/mind work in.

Knowing your connection to the police, they have hired you to contact your man on the inside and stop this raid.As soon as you agree, the owners bolt, along with all of the patrons. Now you’re faced with a problem: the phone booth outside is locked, and the code is hidden somewhere inside the bar. You all have 60 minutes to stop this raid before the police come and mistake you for the owners of this bar. Complete this mission, save the bar, AND get a nice monetary reward for your efforts. Are you up to the challenge?

Sparrows, finches, cardinals and starlings can be heard singing on sunny days. Owls and skunks are mating and repairing nests or dens for their young. It is also the snowiest month of the year, so we will look for and identify animal tracks. This month celebrates the Snow Full Moon and is also the month of Valentines. Hopefully, we will hear or see the “love language” of Jeffrey’s resident Barred Owls.  If not, Tom will try to call them in.Instructor: Tom KirkerTom is a retired teacher from Columbus City Schools, a part time ranger for the Columbus & Franklin County Metro Parks and our resident outdoor educator.

Because warblers aren’t feeder birds and typically stick to forested areas, you’ll want to join birding and warbler expert James Muller for a Warbler Walk through Jeffrey Woods. James will help you spot, identify and meet these tiny and colorful winged beauties as they flit from branch to branch in search of insects. Binoculars recommended.Instructor: James MullerLongtime birder, James, started serious birding at 12 years old.
