Hello LEAPers! We hope everyone is having an amazing summer so far! Here at LEAP we are starting to get ready for another great school year and looking back on the past year with wonderful memories! The kids are a little bit older, the teachers are a little bit wiser, and everyone here at LEAP is so happy and fortunate to have this amazing program.

We did so many incredible things this past year that we just can’t fit it all into a little newsletter – So we made a slideshow! We want you to know how incredibly grateful we are to have been able to spend another year with all of you!

This year we got to experience some amazing things, like special visits from the Discovery Museum in Acton, Curious Creatures, and Drone Pilot Joe! LEAP had cool theme days like Dr. Suess Day, and Pokemon Day, as well as fun CLUBS, a Color Wars Competition, and more! We also took LEAPers on incredible field trips such as apple picking at Honey Pot Orchard, roller skating at Roller Kingdom, and jumping around at Jump On In! LEAP is super lucky to have a wonderful community surrounding it to participate in events like the COA winter sing-along, Technology day where the big kids were able to help seniors with their tech needs, visiting DeCordova museum, and let’s not forget Drumlin Farm, a wonderful nature sanctuary right here in town. But all of our Fun Nights and Wednesday activities are just the icing on “Kristen’s Cookies” compared to the incredible and educational activities the teachers plan for LEAP students every single day. This year we were so excited to introduce STEM as one of the daily choices, and we hope the kids enjoyed these experiments as much as the teachers did!

We are happy to announce that many of our LEAP staff members will be joining us again for another year! We are sad to see a few go, but we are excited for them to start a new chapter of their lives, and we wish them luck in their new adventures.

No matter where you are or what you’re doing this summer, we hope you keep the LEAP spirit alive in your hearts. Registration for next year is already open, and we have new rates. Make sure to check it all out by going to the forms and handbooks page. We are extending the Early Bird discount for registration until the end of July–make sure to sign up soon and the registration fee will be half price!  Have a great summer and we’ll see you in August!
