Kitchen Wizards

KITCHEN WIZARDS

Today we began our cooking class with Ms. Kate from Kitchen Wizards.  Each week a group of students will get to cook with Ms. Kate.

This week the students made an ocean scene in a cup.  A crushed vanilla wafer was the sand, blue jello was the ocean, a Swedish fish was just that, a peach slice was the boat floating in the ocean, and a fruit roll up acted as the boat sail.   







Homework time!
Plus staff is available each day for homework help.

The littlest bunch enjoys snack time with friends!

2.  New Staff: I am happy to say that we are welcoming new staff members to our program.  

  • Jared Zervos and Jake Sphar have been HCA camp counselors for the last few summers and will be assisting the Plus teachers in daily activities. 
  • Ms Stacey Kerno our new N2 teacher will be helping with the younger group.
  • Returning Staff: Mrs. Mossor, Ms. Webb, Mrs. Devenney, Mara Zwilling, Becca Clay, 

3. Calendar: A monthly calendar with the weekly theme will be sent out each month. Be on the lookout for this in your email!

4. BLOG: The blog will  be updated on a frequent basis so be sure to check out all the fun things going on! https://hcaplus.blogspot.com/

5. Cell Phone: Just a reminder that the school office is closed after 4:30 p.m. If you should need to reach a Plus staff member please call the HCA Plus+ Cell Phone:  267-449-3983.  

**6. Pick Up Instructions:  This is the biggest change for Plus.  ALL students will be picked up from Plus (regardless of time) from the main lobby.  If you arrive before 4:30 you will be buzzed in from the office; if you arrive after 4:30, an HCA Plus staff member will be there to let you in.  At that time, the staff member will use the walkie talkie to notify the Plus teacher your child is leaving.

7. Late Pick Up Fees: There is a $1 a minute fee for any late pick ups.  If you are signed up for ‘Early Pick Up’ and arrive after 4:30 pm you will be charged accordingly.  If you are signed up for ‘Late Pick Up’ and you arrive after 6:00 pm you will be charged accordingly.  





KITCHEN WIZARDS IS BACK!!

For the next six Tuesdays, Kitchen Wizards will be back at Plus cooking with our students in Pre-K-3 grades.  The Kids will attend on a rotation throughout the six weeks and you do not have to sign up.  


Have a great weekend!
Mrs. Devenney
