We are
making a few changes to our program. Based on the responses of
the evaluations, these were the changes most suggested. It
should be noted that many of these changes require that we have
more participation in leadership roles, so please be sure to look
at the Volunteer Opportunities
and sign up to help if possible. Another way to help is to
invite others to volunteer. If you know someone who would be good
at one of the volunteer positions, please take the responsibility
to invite them to participate. Together, we will be able to reach
more people.
Here
are the changes for next year. . .
1. We
are switching from a two hour time frame to 1 hour/45 minutes.
The new times offered will be:
Sundays,
3:15 - 5:00 pm | Sundays, 6:00 - 7:45 pm | Mondays,
6:30 - 8:15 pm
2.
The Monday time change is to accomodate people getting home from
work, having dinner, and arriving on time for the session.
3.
A separate breakout session for High School age students will
only occur at the Sunday evening session. All High School age
students at other sessions will remain with the adults or they
can help with the younger children's breakout.
4.
A separate breakout session for Middle School age student will
occur at both Sunday sessions, but not at the Monday night session.
Those Middle School age students attending Monday night will remain
with the adults or help with the younger children's breakout.
5.
A new 3-4 year old program will be offered at the Sunday afternoon
(3:15 - 5:00 pm) session. Children of this age will be dropped
off directly to the classroom and will return when the breakout
session ends.
6.
The children's breakout groups will be divided into smaller groups
by grade, instead of one large group.
7.
Adults will now have the opportunity to participate in smaller
groups, based on different topics. These smaller groups will remain
together for the year, studying the theme chosen. We will still
bring in a guest speaker two or three times during the year for
the adults.
8.
Dinner will continue to be offered on Sundays, 5:00 - 6:00 pm.
9.
A parent guidebook is being developed to help better understand
the process as well as provide some guidance for the "at
home" work and activities.
10.
Registration fee has been lowered. We will charge a flat $50 program
fee per household. Textbooks for children and youth will be extra.
