In case you missed the Open House, you may not be aware of a few things:
1. New curriculum from American Heritage will be added this school year that emphasizes the 4-R approach to learning, which is, Read, Reason, Relate, and Record. Sister Dale has implemented this type of method in the past, but she feels it will compliment her technique and style of teaching this year as well.
2. We are privileged to have Tammy Jensen, mother of three, previous owner of an LDS Faith based school in Salt Lake City, and developer of "Who I Really Am" (previously known as Crocodile International Leadership) joining our team of highly inspirational teachers and leaders this year.
3. There is a new after school program called Bricks 4 Kidz, and it is more than just playing with Legos! The children will engineer and construct small items using Legos and battery powered motors. Some pieces that were shown at the Open House included a windmill and a robotic spider that walks on the ground. The cost is $60 for six weeks, and the class is filling up fast, so please let Sister Dale know if your child is interested (for more information, click on the link.: bricks4kidz.com)
4. Please remember to send a pair of safety goggles to school this week with your child so that they can participate in the science experiments with Max Rose, the Science Specialist. You can purchase them at most hardware stores, and they will need them by next week.
5. There will be an FHE Family Social and Potluck for friends and family of LYA students at Boots Cox Park on Monday, September 22nd in the evening, so be sure to mark your calendar for that.
Please continue to offer your support and much needed help this year by volunteering to drive for recess and field trips, and by getting involved in fund raisers. Your assistance is greatly appreciated and imperative to the school's success!
