Inspiring family talk on sportsmanship, emotions, kindness, and positive play skills. Join Shan Foster, former professional athlete and community leader, for an engaging and inspiring talk designed for families. This interactive session will tackle some of the common challenges kids face during play—like overly competitive behavior, unkindness, emotional outbursts, and impulse control issues. Shan will share practical strategies to help students channel their energy into positive actions, develop better sportsmanship, and build stronger, more respectful relationships with their peers. Through stories, advice, and tools for both kids and parents, Shan will empower families to support their child as they approach play and life with confidence, kindness, and teamwork. Let’s work together to help our students win in the ways that matter most!

Join us for a community discussion of "A River Runs Through It" by Norman Maclean. This installment of the Larkspur Book Club will meet Thursday, March 26th, 2026 from 11am-12:30pm CST, and we will be reading, "A River Runs Through It" a novella by Norman Maclean. Maclean grew up in the western Rocky Mountains in the first decades of the twentieth century. As a young man he worked many summers in logging camps and for the United States Forest Service. The two novellas and short story in this collection are based on his own experiences. For each edition of our book club we’re going to select one book we enjoy that engages themes of death, grief, or nature. We’ll announce the selection and give you time to read it before we meet in-person at the Larkspur Library for an enriching discussion.
