Power Hour Program Updates
April Launching Learners
Ridgedale’s Summer Learning Program is expanding this year!
Last year, our teachers did a phenomenal job running the YMCA’s K-2 program here on campus, and that is going to happen again this summer. But we are now adding Summer POWER Hours for students currently in GRADES 3-8! I hope we can max out the program this summer as we have fun learning and pushing back that “summer slide”!
We will have Club Choices, lunch and a breakfast snack, hands-on Math and Reading lessons, recess-type activities, small group iReady tutoring, SEL lessons and yoga, outside activities and weekly field trips. If you are interested in enrolling your child(ren), please check the Summer POWER Hours schedule by clicking on the link below. If the schedule looks like something that can work for your family, please complete the enrollment form and turn it into the building office. We are so excited to offer this great opportunity to our Ridgedale community! Enroll now, spots are limited! Questions can be directed to Melissa Weston at mweston@ridgedaleschools.org.
I hope to see you there!
