Hope everyone is having a great Memorial Day Weekend. Here’s what we have coming up next week at LEAP. Check it out!

Here’s just a few photos of some of the fun activities we’ve done this week! A trip to Drumlin Farm, the District Art Show, and lots of fun at LEAP! Some Drumlin photography credits go to the 4th grade girls, Alexi, Christina, and LEAPer of the Week Sophie Moynihan–Thanks for helping us capture these moments!

LEAP Big Kids are going on a Field Trip!

Dear Parents of the Big Kids,

The Big Kids successfully reached the group reward of going to a trampoline park, which will be the last field trip of the year! The middle schoolers voted on going to the Altitude Trampoline Park in Billerica and we’d like to make it happen for Wednesday, May 30th.

Each student needs to bring a completed paper waiver on the day of the field trip. You can download the waiver here. Every student worked to earn this reward, and we’d love to have as many Big Kids as possible, so of course, even if your middle schooler doesn’t come to LEAP on Wednesdays, they are more than welcome to join in on the fun! Let us know if you have any questions. 

Happy almost summer!

-Kristen and Becca

Dear LEAP Families,

It is hard to believe that the school year is drawing to a close! This year has been a great success for the LEAP program, with record enrollment and the assembly of an incredibly talented and energetic LEAP staff.

To close out the year, LEAP will be holding its Annual Meeting on Wednesday June 6.  In order to ensure that families are able to make it to other commitments that evening, refreshments will be available starting at 5:00pm with an open meeting of the Board of Directors to follow.

Please consider taking time on the evening of the 6th to socialize with LEAP families and attend the short meeting afterwards to learn more about the governance of the program.  Katie and the LEAP Board look forward to presenting program highlights and the parent survey results, as well as discussing opportunities for the coming school year.  During this time we will also vote on the new Parent Board of Directors for 2018-2019. We always welcome new participants and fresh ideas, so please feel free to reach out to any of us to learn more about board membership or simply come to the meeting on the 6th to learn more. Our current board members are:

Julie Graves (President)
Roy Katz (Treasurer)
DeAnna Mori (Director)
Julie Kim (Director)
Stacey Flannery (Director)

Thank you all for your continued support of a phenomenal program! I We hope to see you at LEAP on Wednesday June 6.

Regards,
Julie Graves
President, LEAP Board of Directors

Here’s what we’ve got planned for activities this week. Check it out and ask your kids what they like to do for choices!

Big Kids Drop In has been postponed until next fall due to lack of interest. We’re sorry for any inconvenience and hope that we can make this night a success next year for the middle schoolers. Thank you, and have a great weekend!

Next Wednesday, May 23rd LEAP is going to Drumlin Farm, a Mass Audubon location right here in Lincoln, MA!

We are so excited to return to one of our favorite local field trips and learn something new! This year, kids will be participating in the Wild & Domestic Program while we are there. Please  download the Permission Slip or grab one at LEAP and return it to LEAP before the day of the trip. Thank you!
