SAND POINT KIDS U WINTER 2018

KIDS UNIVERSITY at SAND POINT ELEMENTARY

Our program at Sand Point Elementary provides a stimulating environment

where children experience classes rich in cognitive and creative skill-building.

The hands-on Kids U format encourages children to experiment with a broad

spectrum of afterschool enrichment classes that allow them to develop their

own skills, talents and interests.

A word from the Kids University Supervisor

Greetings Kids U Families,

Thank you for choosing the YMCA for your afterschool enrichment activities.

We are all jumping to begin new classes after the winter holiday. We had a

blast coming up with new and exciting clubs that combine learning and fun,

and hope you will enjoy them too.

As we head into the winter months, please remember to bring warm and

protective clothing—we like to get outside even when its cold!

A final reminder, the YMCA will follow the school district’s advisement for

inclement weather closures and late starts.

Sincerely,

Randi Dodson

Kids University Program Supervisor
