Cooking Class

Can you believe our 8th week of cooking class is already upon us? It has been a pleasure to add Florence Deeter and her cooking instruction to our offerings this half of the semester. Thank you, Mrs. Deeter!

Physical Education Class

We wish to express our thanks to Mr. McClellan for bringing his experience and fun in teaching the PE class. As he was only available to teach the first half of the semester he will be finishing his time here this Tuesday, October 1.

We welcome Mr. Marc Monocco to REACH to teach the second half of the semester of PE. Mr. Monocco will be joining Mr. McClellan this week to meet everyone and help with the transition of teachers. I encourage you to stop in and say good bye to Mr. McClellan and hello to Mr. Monocco.

Marc has been an ISSA Certified Fitness Trainer since 2002. He is the owner and Head Instructor of Topeka Jiu Jitsu Academy and has been the Sport Commissioner for Jiu Jitsu at Sunflower State Games since 2011. He is a US Army Veteran and a substitute teacher for Topeka area schools.

An opportunity to show thanks...

Dear REACH Parents,

Cornerstone Community Church graciously hosts REACH without charge. The church is now in the process of some building maintenance and remodeling, part of which will involve painting classrooms.  This is the perfect opportunity for us to give back, by way of service, to the wonderful people of Cornerstone Community Church for their generosity.

I would like to gather a few REACH parents to paint some of the classrooms. The church will have all the supplies and tools waiting for us. Let us know if you are interested and what your availability is. I will post more details as I find out availability of helpers and when the rooms will be ready for us to paint.

Thank you!
Robin

School Lunch for Sept 10

We have a parent who volunteered to pick up Cici's Pizza this Thursday. If you would like one please place your order to the REACH email by Tuesday morning. One pizza is  $5.45, (5 plus tax) leave your money at the admin table when you walk in.

Future school lunches: If anyone has any ideas for combined lunch or wants to volunteer to do something let us know.  I would like to start getting lunch count sheets the week before and putting them at the admin table. The counts can then be taken that day and eliminate the need for all the emails.
