A Note from our Field Trip Coordinator…

If you have not signed up for the field trip next Friday, October 10; please do so by Thursday, October 2. Thank you! Remember to arrive early to pay me so that I can pay as a group and get our discounted rate. Details of the trip are on the administration table at REACH.

Split Semester Classes Change October 7

Speech Class begins the first Tuesday in October

The 8 week Cooking Class will be winding up this Tuesday, September 30. For the second half of the semester a Speech class is offered for students 1st through 6th grade. There will be 2 instructors for this class, allowing a variety of activities for the students. The class will be 12:30—1:25pm. Please see the 2014-2015 Year tab for details. If you have not already enrolled your students for this class but wish to do so, please send an email; or if you are a currently enrolled family of REACH, you may sign up for this class at the admin table this week.

Lunch this Week

We have been enjoying the opportunity to order pizza every other week. This coming Tuesday, September 16 would have been a slated pizza day; however our orders have been getting too large to order the morning of the meal.

The restaurant has asked that we call our order in the day before. So, pack your lunch for this Tuesday and then write down your order at the admin table for what you would like to have the following week, September 23. You do not need to pay until the morning we actually go to pick up the pizza.

We will continue having the pizza order sheet at the admin table a week ahead of the week we eat it.

October Field Trip

Note: Please see earlier post below for September's field trip. The October field trip is scheduled for Meier's Pumpkin Patch on the morning of October 10.  Look for more information Tuesday at REACH. 

Lunch this week: 

September 2 is a pizza day. If you would like to order pizza instead of packing a lunch, have your order and $5 at the administration table by 10am.

Field Trip Information:

Below is a message from our Field Trip Coordinator, Shelby. Enrolled families will receive an email with her contact information if you have any questions. You may register by signing up at the administration table this Tuesday (or email her). Please note that the registration deadline is this Tuesday so she will need to know your decision by then. 

From Shelby:

I am working on field trips for the year.  For those of you that are new to REACH, I will be scheduling some out of town, some in town, some that cost and some that are free.  I will try to post as much info as possible but feel free to email me or call or text with questions.  

I will be trying to do whole group activities but some trips are geared towards specific ages and some limit our number that can come.  Feel free to do as many or as few field trips as you like. 

The first trip I have scheduled is September 11 in Olathe.  I need to know by Tuesday September 2 who is coming.  I will have a sign up sheet on the table Tuesday or feel free to email me.  We would need to be there by 10 and since this is geared towards 4-15 year olds we could all explore at our families own pace and meet back up for lunch at 12 for a picnic lunch.  Here is the information from the website.  I will send an email with address and more info to those that are going.  The website is mahaffie.org if you would like to look at it.
