Harvest Ridge Enrichment Sessions are Now Open!

Harvest Ridge is excited to offer Enrichment opportunities for all students beginning in January. Each session has two classes that students sign up for. These classes will be split into an upper grade and lower grade group to allow us to tailor instruction to the students attending. Each session will be capped at 40 students, with a maximum of 20 in each group. A waiting list will be started for students signing up after the session fills.
Classes are held on Fridays on the main Harvest Ridge Campus, and run from 9:00 am to 11:15 am with a 15 minute snack recess/break in between. Students are encouraged to bring a water bottle and snack for the break.
Costs for each session and session details are listed below. Home Study students may use Home Study funds to cover the cost of the classes. Payment for classes must be received as of the first session through cash or check made out to HRCCS.

Kids Cook Real Food

Instructor: Mrs. Rickards
​Bring in your aprons for a “kids cook real food” class! We will compare common packaging ingredients to the recipe for real food that kids can cook. Students will learn about hidden artificial ingredients in foods. Meals will range from appetizer, salad, entree and dessert! Students will prepare each dish using their own set of knives and kitchen prep tools. At the end of the course, students will get to take their kitchen tools and recipes home to keep and use again and again!

THE BFG

Instructor: Mrs. Smead
Dive into a great book with us! We will work through reading comprehension, creative writing, discuss character traits and the importance of kindness. We will culminate the read-aloud and book discussion with a creative “Dream Jar” writing project. We will create our “Golden Phizzwizard” (the best dream we can create for ourselves). We will make a dream jar as a keepsake to remind us of our happy dream. The dream jar is a creative opportunity to make a keepsake with their favorite color and loaded with glitter and sequins, when shaken it displays the magic of a snow globe. ​

MINDFULNESS MATTERS!​

Instructors: Mrs. Cowan and Mrs. Kacalek-Brown
The practice of mindfulness offers all children the ability to try a gentle approach to life’s big emotions. Through meditation, yoga, and the study of specific tools to help in challenging situations this enrichment class will help promote happiness and relieve stress. We will offer tips and tools, as well as several activities that develop empathy, focus, gratefulness, and fun!

Spring Movement Fun!

Instructor: Mrs. Stanphill
Students will get outside and enjoy spring themed movement and skill stations. Parachutes, speed stacking, sport skills and small group games will be offered to keep kids engaged and having fun! Teamwork and sportsmanship will be emphasized. Please wear clothing and shoes for movement.

ADVENTURES IN POETRY​

Instructor: Mrs. Milami
Join Mrs. Milami for adventures in poetry! Don't be intimidated by the subject because after these five weeks each of you will realize that you're a true poet, and poetry might actually end up being your new favorite writing activity. Each child will learn just how natural it actually is to write poetry and they will come away with a small published compilation of their very own works! This class is best suited for students who are able to write and have some basic reading and phonics skills.
