Christmas Party Pictures

Thank you to everyone who helped our kids have a wonderful Christmas Party! Judging from all the laughter, smiles, food crumbs, and wrapping paper, they had a great time. Each of the  different parties had such fun things for their group to do! 

If you took pictures at the parties, please email them to Lori, our year book coordinator, for possible inclusion in the year book. Let's bury her in pictures! If you don't have Lori's email, you can send them to the REACH email to be passed on to her.

Road Construction:


Construction at SW 21st Street and Indian Hills intersection leaves access to the church parking lot only from Indian Hills road. You can come from the south on Indian Hills Road. Before the intersection there is an access road to get to 21st Street. Use it to get past the church's closed 21st Street parking lot entrance, go west on 21st to West Trail Road, which is the first right hand turn, then right on SW 19th Street to the stop sign at Indian Hills Road. Turn right and you can access the church from the Indian Hills parking lot entrance.


If you are on 21st heading east toward Indian Hills, turn left at West Trail Road, before you get to the church. (look for a white picket fence with stone entrance headers) then right on SW 19th Street and right onto Indian Hills.

You can also access Indian Hills Road from SW 10th Street.

To aid in preparations this week, please write down your RSVPs on the Christmas Party list at the administration table . The committee leaders will also have sign up sheets there. Please stop by and see if there is spot you can help out. This is a great and fun way to fill an Area of Parent Partnership. 

This year our annual Christmas party will begin with students from the music class singing for us in the gym. At their conclusion the middle school students will go downstairs to the classroom across from the geography room for their party. KinderPrep through elementary students will be directed where to go.

Road Construction Update as of October 1
Rainwater has damaged SW Indian Hills Road and it is now closed between SW 21st and SW 23rd streets due to a large void under the roadway. There is not an estimated date of repair so I would anticipate this will still be a barrier to the SW 29th to Indian Hills route to REACH 
for a time.

If you have been coming from the south on Indian Hills Road, you will need to continue up SW 29th Street to Auburn Road.  Turn right on SW 21st street heading east toward indian Hills Road. Turn left at  West Trail Road, before you reach the church (look for white picket fence and stone entrance to neighborhood),  then right on SW 19th Street  which takes you around the behind the church. Another right will get you back on SW Indian Hills to access the church from the Indian Hills parking lot.
You can also access Indian Hills Road from SW 10th street.

School Begins Tuesday, August 16!

All enrolled families should have received an email with helpful reminders and suggestions. If you did not get one, please let us know. We are looking forward to seeing everyone! Please see the road construction update below and allow yourself a little extra time.

Road Construction Update
The first phase of construction affecting the route to the church was the closure of 21st street from Urish to Indian Hills. The next phase has also closed the intersection of SW 21st Street and Indian Hills. This includes closing the 21st street parking lot entrance which leaves access to the church only from the Indian Hills entrance, north of the intersection. From 21st street west of the intersection, a little trip through the neighborhood behind the church will get you back to Indian Hills.

You will still be able to come from the south on Indian Hills Road. Before the intersection there is an access road to get to 21st Street. Use it to get past the church's closed 21st Street parking lot entrance, go west on 21st to West Trail Road, which is the first right hand turn, then right on SW 19th Street to the stop sign at Indian Hills Road.

If you are on Indian Hills coming from SW 29th street direction:
Before the intersection where Indian Hills meets 21st street there will be a temporary access road to the left off of Indian Hills. It will take you just past the church's closed 21st street parking lot entrance. You can then turn left onto 21st street. Take the first street to the right, West Trail Road, then right on SW 19th Street to the stop sign at Indian Hills Road.

Thank You REACH Students and Parents

We have shared in the past how great it is when we go on field trips and get so many nice complements on the behaviors of the students. This week we had a member of our host church tell us that they have occasions to be in the building during our time there and appreciate that the students are so well behaved and respectful of the property. That is awesome!

We are looking forward to a great year. We already have teachers calling in to check on their students. It is wonderful to see that excitement in the people working with our families! I have also bumped into students this summer who are asking if we are going to do specific activities again this year. That just makes me smile from ear to ear!
