October Newsletter

We are one month into the 25/26 school year and already it has been jam packed with exciting activities. Our school is bigger than ever and we are delighted to have so much participation in our activities; but because our physical space is often limited we really encourage RSVPing. We encourage using the links to Sign-up Genius but you can still RSVP by emailing or calling us and we will add you. Even more important this year is making sure you notify us as early as possible if you need to cancel your R.S.V.P. so that we can let people on the waitlist know.

Last Month
Bonnie is back and she is bringing all of her artistic talent to teach us new art techniques.
Every month will feature two identical art sessions to be able to serve as many students as possible. Art sessions fill up fast so be sure to RSVP to save your spot!
We wrapped up Summer and September with our 2nd Annual Beach Trip.
After Hiking to the beach at Spruce Cape, we ate our picnic lunches, clambered over rocks, and used metal detectors to search for buried treasure.
And we went Swimming

Upcoming Events
Storybook Pumpkin Decorating Contest
Decorate a pumpkin to look like a storybook character and bring it in to AKTEACH between now and October 31st. Prizes will be awarded durring the costume party.
Community Events
Throughout the school year we will be hosting a variety of clubs and events and we want as many interested students as possible to attend. We always appreciate having an idea of how many families to expect for any given activity, but we NEVER want anyone to miss out on an opportunity because they forgot to let us know they were coming. Even though we will make sure to plan for a few extra kiddos in regards to any supplies, materials or accommodations it really does help us to be adequately prepared if you take the time to R.S.V.P. You can send us a message via the phone or by email or even by carrier pigeon. It is our desire to make sure that every student who participates in our activities has the best experience possible.
