Dear BASS Families, Another year is coming to a close in a few short weeks, BASS has had a wonderful year as the department goal has been “Super Spaces”. No doubt you have seen some “Super Spaces” take form over this year at your BASS location. Reading Super Spaces have been successful! It has been reported that kids have enjoyed more reading time at their own initiative. Older Kids Super Spaces have given opportunity for our 3rd - 6th grade to have some time in their own space to engage in more complex and age appropriate activities. “Super Spaces” have encouraged staff to be crea- tive and have caused each site to make the most out of shared space. In- stead of kids playing in the atmosphere of a school cafeteria, “Super Spaces” enhances the comfort of the shared space. Carpet, soft chairs, special light- ing, color coordination and much more goes into a “Super Spaces”. A few pictures of the “Super Spaces” across the BASS programs are provided. The BASS team endeavors this year of “Super Spaces” have truly helped en- gage the learning and fun for kids while in BASS.

Dear BASS Families,

Another year is coming to a close in a few short weeks, BASS has had a wonderful year as the department goal has been “Super Spaces”. No doubt you have seen some “Super Spaces” take form over this year at your BASS location. Reading Super Spaces have been successful! It has been reported that kids have enjoyed more reading time at their own initiative. Older Kids Super Spaces have given opportunity for our 3rd - 6th grade to have some time in their own space to engage in more complex and age appropriate activities. “Super Spaces” have encouraged staff to be crea-tive and have caused each site to make the most out of shared space. In-stead of kids playing in the atmosphere of a school cafeteria, “Super Spaces” enhances the comfort of the shared space. Carpet, soft chairs, special light-ing, color coordination and much more goes into a “Super Spaces”. A few pictures of the “Super Spaces” across the BASS programs are provided. The BASS team endeavors this year of “Super Spaces” have truly helped en-gage the learning and fun for kids while in BASS.

To sign up for Auto Pay, simply log into your account and click on the Signup for Autopay button on your home screen.

Benefits: • Save time and money. There are no checks to write, stamps to buy, or late fees to pay.

How It Works: • You can enroll in automatic payment by providing information on the pay-ment method of your choice.

• You can choose to pay automatically from any of your credit cards or di-rect debit from your bank account (checking or savings)

BASS 2015-2016 HIGHLIGHTS!!!

Cedar Creek

CCE's highlight for this school year was our "Inside Out" themed half day! We played gym games that reflected different emotions and then made masks of the different emotion characters from the movie. Of course we ended our day watching "Inside Out!"

Greenwood

GWE's most memorable Highlights for the 2015-16 School Year is definitely....Our Special "ROYALS" Fun Days! The Kids were able to chart the Royals Victory by guessing how many runs per inning, B.B’s (base on balls) and also how many pitches were thrown per inning. We enjoyed a fun time in the Library watching the exciting game, having snacks and had many of our Teach-ers gathered with us to share in all the excitement. Forever ROYAL!!

Hawthorn Hill Our favorite highlight was one of the last Royal’s games, all the kiddos wore their Royals shirts and we watched the game and ate popcorn. Our kids loved it and still talk about and wonder if will be doing it again this season! Fun time for all.

Hazel Grove

Hazel Grove's favorite memory this year was our photo shoot days. The Sit-Coordinator brought in her studio equipment and set up lights. The kids helped make back drops and props. Then all the kids took turns posing in front of the camera with their friends and even families. We even had A+ dress up at Mickey and Minnie mouse to pose with the children as well. They all had a bunch of fun, the pictures turned out great, and everyone left with some fun memories

Highland Park

Our kindergartners at Highland Park are builders!! They have built some awesome themes out of our blocks! They have created the zoo (including adding animals), bridges and a race car track. They are extremely creative and they are our next generation of leader's!!!

Lee’s Summit LSE's favorite memory this year was getting to "travel" to Alice in Wonderland. On one of our early release days, the LSE Kids Country staff transformed the entire cafeteria and Kids Country room into our own amazing Wonderland. Inside the "House of Cards", we got to make little Card Soldiers using playing cards, hair bows and bow ties using playing cards, and try to build our own house of cards using old playing cards. In the "Mad Hatter's Hat Shop", we got to decorate our own hats and showcase our own styles! We also had a photo booth called "Cheshire's Cat-cha Smile" that had some neat props dress up items to go along with the Alice in Wonderland theme. Half of the cafeteria was set up to be the "Queen's Royal Croquet Court" where we got to play an indoor game of croquet and if you had to wait your turn to play, you could play a bean bag toss game and toss bean bags toward a giant two of diamonds card to make it into one of the diamond cutouts. After all of that fun, we got to do a food craft! We got to design our own card soldiers using rice krispie treats and sweet hearts and then eat them!!! Our cafeteria man-ager was very generous to lend us the use of the Campus Cuisine Cart to use for snack. We decorated it to be our "Wonderland Treats". Our older kids helped to stock it with healthy treats such as string cheese, apples, carrots w/ranch, yo-gurt, milk and juice and then served the younger kids and kept it stocked. And to top off the day, the Kids Country room was transformed into a "Wonderland Theater" where we got to watch Alice in Wonderland - comfy style! We had a blast and hope that we can have just as much fun on other early release days!

Meadow Lane

This year at Meadow Lane Kids Country we have had a lot of fun discovering that everybody is a superhero. The students were able to share their superpower and they have also shown what characteristics that a superhero might have. They have become mentors to visitors from our Combo Group as well as new students that have started with us. We have also discussed other superheroes around us such as parents, community workers, and school staff. It's great to know that the students can relate superheroes to more than just a comic book character.

Pleasant Lea

We have had a great time at PLE doing crafts with Ms. Judy. One of the crafts that really took off with our kids was our pillow crafts. Judy taught the older kids how to sow and the kids would stuff and decorate their own unique pillows!

Prairie View

The Octoberfest Party was one of the best afternoons at PVE with the younger kids enjoying a party that was put together by the older kids. There was music, strobe lights, face painting, and a scavenger hunt. Last but not least was a taste test of Coke vs Pepsi and yes, the Coca Cola won!

Mason

When reflecting on the past school year, it was bittersweet. It is hard to imagine that the school year is almost coming to a close but we created so many wonderful and memorable moments! One of the top highlights the kids remembered was the field trips we had this year. The top two mentioned were the Zoo and Lunar bowl. When the kids were talking about their experiences, their faces lit up with joy. We played in the dirt to make Plant Pals! The children really enjoyed creating their own plants as well as sticking their hands in dirt. We had really great art projects but when someone hears the word slime, it brings the inner kid out. Another highlight was making slime for one of our science activities. The project was sticky and smelled of glue but the kids loved being able to make their own slime and making many colors of it. They literally played with the slime almost the entire time at Kids Country. It was fun to watch them smile and get excited over something so simple. Something else the kids thought was great was our clubs, we did a cooking club, which were cars made out of fruit and made robots with recycled material. This year was a lot of fun and enjoyable for all! It is sad to see time pass by so fast but we made some memorable mo-ments that will last a lifetime!

Richardson

Richardson- The students here at Richardson really enjoyed decorating for the holidays. They made a fire place out of box-es and used red construction paper for bricks. We also had a tree with lights and ornaments that the kids put together. The Kids Country staff also wrapped new board games, art supplies and placed them under the tree. The kids had a blast open-ing the present! :)

Summit Pointe

At Summit Pointe this year we have seen a flurry of block and LEGO building. A large group of morning students has spent a great deal of time building large structures of blocks. They have created LEGO boats, airplanes, robots, and cars with their block cities.

Sunset Valley

In the month of December we adopted a family from the Salvation Army. We adopted a family of 3 which included a single mother and 2 children. The kiddos got really involved with the whole process of helping those less fortunate. It was a truly magical time.

Trailridge

Trailridge has a yearly St. Patrick’s Day Parade. The children work all week making signs, streamers and flowers for the parade. After the busses leave the teachers and other school staff line the halls and wave as the parade goes by. Many of the children play percussion instruments which adds to the parade atmosphere. It is a nice opportunity for both children and staff to enjoy each other.

Underwood

Our children at Underwood this year have loved playing in the dramatic play area. They have tak-en many orders and served many meals. They do wear their aprons to keep their clothing from getting dirty. When they are finished playing they are the BEST at cleaning up.

Westview

WVE students loved getting introduced to new STEM topics throughout the year. Engineering topics were by far the most popular. If it has to do with building, they are in! It was fun getting to watch them process through what worked well, and deciding what changes needed to be made to their structures.

Woodland

Woodland enjoyed our early release days this year. The kids love having extra time to play in the gym or outside. We also did fun things like; decorating gingerbread houses and gingerbread men as well as painting canvases and pumpkins.

KC Cubbies

KC Cubbies UW enjoyed learning through play with paint, markers, stamps and play dough. We learned our colors, num-bers, shapes and letters. KC Cubbies GB enjoyed watching the construction on the new amphitheater, and learning about BIG trucks and machines this year.

3LYNX

At 3LYNX we had a great winter break! Some of the BASS office admin came out to visit the site wearing fun holiday head gear! The kids enjoyed watching the flashing wiggling hats that they were wear and even more enjoyed playing a game of kickball!

Staying Safe during a

Thunderstorm

Spring in the Kansas City area means that lovely warm days are ahead of us. It can also

mean gentle rains, or not so gentle thunderstorms.

The first step to staying safe during a thunderstorm is being aware of the situation. Tune

in to local radio or TV stations, or have an NOAA weather radio to listen to so that you can have

up to the minute information regarding a storm. NOAA radios are available at several retail out-

lets and on the internet.

According to FEMA, all thunderstorms are dangerous. Every thunderstorm produces light-

ning. Lightning strikes approximately 300 people in the US each year, and kills about 80. Most

of these strikes and subsequent problems occur when people are caught outdoors, usually dur-

ing the afternoon and evening.

To learn more specific information about staying safe during a storm, check out these

websites. Just copy and paste into your browser and learn about safety during a Thunderstorm!

The following website has an awesome checklist.

For each adult, who will pick up, add the PIN number. We recommend you set a PIN # with at least 6 digits as each person in the sys-tem must have a unique PIN #. Cell phone numbers work well for this and are easy to remember.
