Classes to Meet in Lower Level March 3.

This coming Tuesday, March 3 classes will meet in the lower level of the church. (The gym is a voting site for the city elections; thus we will not be able to access the rooms on that end of the building.) The nursery will be available as usual upstairs, as well as a parent lounge and optional study hall room off of the main church lobby.

Signs will be posted outside of the rooms and there will be a map on the admin table in the lobby. Please use the main church entrance (under the awning) for this week.

Teachers, watch for an email with your room assignments. Thank you.

Speech Class Begins March 3

The first of our 8 week courses concluded this past week. Students of the 1st—4th Grade Flat Stanley Literature class enjoyed making Flat Stanley cookies to wrap up this popular class.

Beginning March 3 is Speech Class for the remaining 8 weeks  of the semester. This class is in the same time slot as the Flat Stanley Literature class was (12:30-1:25) and is open to 1st through 6th graders. If you have not already registered but are interested, please send us an email. The class will review some of the things learned last year and continue to  build on those skill sets. Various techniques are used to enhance students speaking skills making this a fun and effective class.

Mark your calendars! 

Picture day: March 10. Details will be posted soon. There is also information at the administration table for you. There are forms to fill out and return before picture day to help prepare the photographer.

Spring Break: March 17. REACH will not meet; have a wonderful break!

Snow Day! No school today, 

Tuesday, February 17.

We will take a snow day today. While our standing policy is that we close if  USD 437 closes; with the amount of concerns and absences we have heard of today we believe this is in the best interest of everyone. Take care and we will all get together next week!

Valentine's Day Party: February 10!

Have fun creating a Valentine's box/bag as a receptacle for the Valentine's you exchange with your friends. Remember to put your name on it. We will have 2 groups exchanging. The elementary kids among themselves and the KinderPrep group among themselves. 

Elementary students: On February 10 place your box/bag on the tables in the entry way when you arrive. We will celebrate after lunch. Some of the afternoon only students will not be here so the elementary count is 27.

KinderPrep students: Take your Valentine's and box/bag to the KinderPrep room. Your teachers will orchestrate your party. You will have 14 students.

 There will be a special treat in the nursery for the toddlers.

Pizza Lunch is On

Someone has come forward to be our pizza pick up person for tomorrow, January 27, so if you had signed up for pizza plan to bring your $5 and enjoy.

Lunch for January 27

Lunch this coming Tuesday is scheduled to be a pizza option. We have lots of sign ups for pizza, however; no one signed up to be the one to go get the pizzas. I know many are not able to leave at that time (approx. 11:15). We need to find out if we have anyone available to do this. We have been giving the pizza option every other week. We could reduce it to the first week of every month if every other week is too often for drivers; or maybe it doesn't work this semester.

Please email by Sunday night if you would be able to be the pizza pick up person for this Tuesday, January 27. I will confirm here Monday morning whether we will have pizza or if everyone needs to pack their lunch.

Going forward we will need a volunteer signed up on the sheet by the day we sign up for pizza.

Thank you!

Valentine's Day Party!

Every year we have enjoyed giving our students an opportunity to have a little fun with Valentine's Day. This year we will celebrate on Tuesday, February 10.

Have fun creating a Valentine's box/bag as a receptacle for the Valentine's you exchange with your friends. Remember to put your name on it. We will have 2 groups exchanging. The elementary kids among themselves and the KinderPrep group among themselves. (We will have student counts on the administration table for you.) There will be a special treat in the nursery for the toddlers.

Elementary students: On February 10 place your box/bag on the tables in the entry way when you arrive. We will celebrate after lunch.

KinderPrep students: On February 10 take your Valentine's and box/bag to the KinderPrep room. Your teachers will orchestrate your party.

Welcome!
It was great to see everyone again and meet some new friends!

This coming week, January 13, is pizza for lunch if you signed up on the form.  Remember to bring $5 and not to pack your lunch unless you want something on the side. ( If you did not sign up at the administration table for pizza, you will want to pack your lunch. The restaurant has asked that we call in advance so we take the orders the week before.) As long as we have a volunteer to go pick up the pizzas we will be offering this every other week.

History and Science students should have received an email. If you do not get one please let us know.

Thank you to everyone's willingness to fill in areas of parent partnership. The more people we have, the more rotating we can do to allow everyone free time. Please keep looking at the sheets each week and see if there is an area you can assist. Art 1 and PE 1 are two classes full of the younger ages so an extra adult available in those rooms is appreciated.

Forgotten art work. Some art work was left last week. You can find it on the shelves above the coat rack in the hallway.
