Wind Warriors is a coaching program designed for newly licensed skydivers and students cleared for solo, created to connect wind tunnel training with real jumps in the sky. Participants work with experienced Perris organizers who provide free coaching, with tips appreciated, to refine skills, build confidence, and form mentorships. The approach carries from the tunnel to the sky so newer jumpers can apply what they learn across both environments. Sessions follow a reliable, supportive format. Flight time can be purchased in blocks, priced at $135 for 10 minutes, $250 for 20 minutes, and $360 for 30 minutes, with a minimum of 10 minutes per session. Flight time is valid only during Wind Warriors sessions and must be used within 60 days of purchase. Activities focus on belly and back flying. An optional breakfast sandwich with coffee or juice is available for an additional $10 plus tax. To schedule, call 951-940-4290. The program takes place at Perris Indoor Skydiving and within the broader Skydive Perris setting, helping emerging jumpers translate tunnel progress into stronger performance in the air alongside the Perris organizing team.

Curious about what makes a fruit different from a vegetable? Gloria from Sprout and Blossom leads an interactive session in the outdoor STEAM classroom created for children and families.

Through observation and guided activities, families take a closer look at the science behind everyday foods. SBCM partners with Sprout and Blossom on a monthly STEAM Outdoors program that blends science, nature, and art with topics such as gardening, food systems, insects, and the wonders of the natural world. Each session nurtures curiosity, care for the planet, and an understanding of how people and nature are connected. The program is offered in two sessions each month. Participation is included with general museum admission, and capacity is 20 children per session on a first come, first served basis.

The new coaching staff for the Bloomington High School girls volleyball program is launching its home opener at the Bloomington High School Gym with a call for community support to create a spirited, celebratory environment for the athletes. Their focus is on building a culture where players feel seen, supported, and motivated to excel on the court and in life. As part of this effort, they are seeking donated balloon displays to brighten the entrance and court, DJ or music support to energize the crowd, and photography or videography to capture memories. They are also aiming for a full house in the stands to show strong Bloomington pride. The program notes that Bloomington High, part of the Colton Joint Unified School District, has often felt overlooked, and this opening day centers the athletes and the community standing behind them. Local businesses, alumni, parents, and neighbors who wish to help are invited to contact Head Volleyball Coach Karla Canez.
