Horizons Saturday School - Fall 2023, Week 1

10/16/2023 

Hi Everyone,

We were so excited to see our students again! Summer seems so far away already as the season changes and the temperatures begin to drop. We welcomed 37 Kindergarten through 8th graders on our first Saturday for a day of enrichment and learning.

Our Saturday Enrichment focus is on Coding and Robotics, and we are thrilled to welcome two Harley teachers for this incredible course. Ms. Weber and Ms. Birmingham are excited to work with our Horizons students and we can’t wait to see what they come up with together. 

It wouldn't be Horizons without a field trip, and we are starting off our Saturday Enrichment program with a trip to the theater! The JCC TYKEs theater to be exact for an amazing performance of Giraffes Can’t Dance. Based on the bestselling picture book, this new musical with original songs will make our students laugh and think. Most of all, Gerald the Giraffe’s story will remind us that we all can dance when we find music that we love.

Our students are swimming in the amazing Harley pool again. We are fortunate to have access to the beautiful facilities at Harley, provided as an in-kind donation. We know swimming is one of the highlights for our Horizons students and we are thrilled to have the benefit of the pool thanks to our amazing host, The Harley School. 

Academic support and enrichment is always a cornerstone of our programming, and Saturday Enrichment is no exception. We offer 45 minutes of ELA and Math each Saturday where we are focusing on supporting our students academic success in their home schools. Our fantastic crew of certified teachers help make sure that our students continue their learning each Saturday.  

 

 We are incredibly thankful for the community's ongoing support. We rely on many individuals and organizations to put our Saturday Enrichment program together and to make it sustainable.

Have a great week.

 

Sincerely,
