February 2009

News from the Academic Director

Dear Families,

This year we expanded our after school enrichment offerings. The response from our community has been very positive!  This year students have been able to participate in Olympics of the Visual Arts, Odyssey of the Mind, Ski Club, Legorobotics, Taylor School Singers, 4H, Art Club and music lessons. These activities give our students an opportunity to expand their minds and skill sets in new and challenging contexts.  Next year, we hope to add additional choices to this list.

We are monitoring the participation level of our younger children in the after school programs.  We’d like to find out how they manage a directed activity at the end of a busy school day.  We offered Art Club and 4H to our kindergarten and first/second grade students.  Taylor School Singers and Legorobotics were also offered to our first/second graders.  All after school activities were offered to our third through sixth graders.  (Preschool and prekindergarten children can look forward to participating in after school enrichment when they get a bit older.) 

The Taylor School will remain committed to offering a variety of after school enrichment opportunities to our students.  It is one more way that we can nurture our joyful learners!

P.S. Mrs. Loiacano (our new music teacher) would be happy to have additional students (first through sixth grade) in the Taylor School Singers on Wednesday afternoons.  Please let Kelly know if your child would like to be a part of this musical group.
