Ready, Set, READ

 

Ready, Set, READ is a fun-filled summer enrichment program, for in-coming Kindergartners to incoming-third graders, developed to enhance reading and writing skills needed to succeed in the following school year.

 

Our goal is to get our campers excited about the up-coming school year and learning as a whole. We test all of our students on the first day of camp in order to ensure that they will be challenged at the appropriate levels. We play educational games that help cultivate a child’s love for learning, because they are enjoying the activities so much. Your child will also enjoy making cool crafts daily that build excitement around the theme embedded in the reading and writing practice. Our two themes this year are bubbling over with the fun and excitement that will help a child transition from the beauties of summer vacation to the joyous sparks of curiosity found when learning.

  • Week 1: August 11-15, 2008 Theme: Summer’s A Super Season

  • Week 2: August 18-22, 2008 Theme: A Pirate’s Adventure


Fee: $165 per week (Payment plans are available.)

BONUS: $10 dollars off if you sign-up for both weeks

Ready, Set, READ t-shirts for all Week 1 campers

Farmer's Market is a Big Success

 

A big fat "Thank You" to all of Del Aire!

 

The Farmer's Market opening was very successful. As with any grand opening, there is always a lot of hubbub that will normally not be experienced on normal market days. For the venders to remain motivated and the endeavor to remain worthwhile for Del Aire, we need a broad customer base.

 

However, our only goal is not just money.  The Farmer's Market is also a forum to encourage DEL AIRE RESIDENTS to make use of our own park. We have built a strong foundation for success. Adjustments do need to be made and absolutely WILL be made. We will strike a balance between all of the different needs.

 

The Del Aire Neighborhood Association is committed not only to the long-term success of our market, but preserving the quality of life in Del Aire. So come out and enjoy Del Aire's very own Farmer's Market with the full confidence that all of the proceeds will be used to do things that will make Del Aire an even better place than it already is!

John Koppelman, President
Del Aire Neighborhood Association
