Countdown is on for Beginning of North Shore School for Seniors
Back-to-school also is for the young at heart! Registration is ongoing for the North Shore School for Seniors (NSSS) fall session, with some classes starting Sept.14. Classes meet at United Methodist Church of Whitefish Bay (UMCWFB), 819 E. Silver Spring Dr., during the day on Monday or Tuesday.
Exciting new classes that center on history and social justice include “The Quest for Cool, Clear Water.” Explore some surprising blindspots among well-intentioned engineers who try to assist indigenous people in their quest for that water. With “Shaken and Stirred: Alcohol, Public Health and Society,” examines the societal costs of excessive drinking and the implications of current alcohol policies – especially in Wisconsin. Questions, ideas and reflections welcomed!
Or, consider a memoir writing class that will help guide the way to sharing (and preserving) stories with children and grandchildren. This is a great way to get started and stop procrastinating! With “Korean Paper Art,” learn how to make unique holiday ornaments or holiday gifts.
Other new offerings are “Apps: Hidden Gems for Your Smartphone,” “Golden Age of Pirates,” “Filming Authenticity,” “The Beatles at Shea Stadium,” “Beyond Bodice Rippers: Romance Novels Today,” and “The Smothers Brothers.”
Class info and online registration is at nss4s.org and catalogs are available at the church. The 2026 fall session (Term 1) begins Monday and Tuesday, Sept. 14 & 15, through Monday and Tuesday, Oct. 5 & 6. Term 2 begins Monday and Tuesday, Oct, 19 & 20, through Monday and Tuesday, Nov. 9 & 10. There are no classes Oct. 12 & 13. Fees are $10 per class meeting.
