The latest scoop…

The online fundraiser for the library was a big success - $800 was raised and our new books will be here soon!!  A sincere thank you to everyone who contributed!

Great open house at Reach this afternoon!  Many thanks to everyone who stopped by or helped!!  Here’s a rundown on some of the new and exciting activities we have to look forward to:

  • Girl Scouts (anyone interested in helping out?)
  • Tennis – after school activity in the cafeteria using age appropriate equipment and games (6 week session, 1 day a week for 60 minutes, free)
  • Dance – after school activity in the cafeteria to include ballet, hip hop and creative movement (6 week session, 1 day a week for 30 minutes, $49 per session)

Information on the before/after care program will be sent out next week along with registration materials.  The program will be onsite at Reach and will be run by the school instead of an outside entity.

School hours will be 8:30 to 4:00 PM

Last but certainly not least – from Nurse Lisa:

All… I am collecting items for the Reach clothing closet. Please consider donating any gently worn clothing items, including uniforms. Casual shirts and pants are greatly needed. Please drop off your donation off Ms. Huston in the office. Thanks for your support!

Online Fund Drive for the Library

Our wonderful art teacher, Ms. Pillai, has launched an online fund drive to raise money for the library via DonorsChoose.org.

The great thing about the Donors Choose site is that it gets your project out in front of a wider audience.  Please take a moment to review the link, and perhaps you’ll decide to give a few dollarts – or maybe you can thing of someone else you can pass this along to who would be interested in helping!
