Mankato Area Public Schools

Fees are for a 25 lb block of Clay, (Glaze and Firing also included). Clay purchase is for use in the Pottery Studio at Lincoln Community Center (110 Fulton Street). You also have access to our potter’s wheels, slab roller, extruder, glazes, greenware storage, tools and electric kilns. When your clay supply is gone, you can purchase a new block of clay. The studio has a designated area where artists can store their unused clay supply. Glazes and firing are included with the clay cost. The studio, managed by Mankato Community Education Leisure + Enrichment Program keeps in inventory high quality supplies and equipment for artist use. The studio and CE cannot be held responsible for work that in the process of drying or firing is damaged or broken. The studio will be closed on days / evenings when Mankato Area Public School closes due to weather related closures.

ZAPS® test preparation seminars are carefully designed to help each student do their best on the ACT. Students who complete the ZAPS seminar—and practice our tips and strategies at home—typically raise their ACT scores by 1 to 4 points. In the 5-hour ZAPS seminar, students will learn strategies for improving in all four sub tests, take shortened practice tests that mirror the actual testing experience, and get suggestions for individualized study in the days leading up to the test. Attendees receive a comprehensive Study Guide and 24 practice test workouts with detailed answer explanations. Students should bring a calculator and two pencils to the seminar. The seminar includes a 45-minute lunch break; students are responsible for their own lunches or may leave the campus during the break to get lunch. Due to age of students, lunch is "on your own" and not supervised by staff.
