Summer Reach Out

Summer Reach Out

Parents! Here is the information if your student is currently on Summer Reach Out:

Reach Out starts at 8:30am and ends at 5:30pm each day. We will start and end at St. Patrick’s Church, and travel by school bus to and from locations.
Every day we will provide a continental-style breakfast, a bag lunch, and a snack somewhere in-between. If your child has medical needs you didn’t note on the form that we need to be aware of, let me know.

Things to bring EVERY day:
• Water bottle
• Sunscreen
• A watch, or something to tell time (cell phone is okay)

Tuesday
We will be spending time at 2nd Chance Youth Ranch in the morning, and Bunker Beach in the afternoon.
• Have your student dress for yard work, including clothes they can get dirty and close-toed shoes.
• Have your student bring a swimsuit, sunscreen, towel, and anything else they will need for swimming at Bunker Beach.
o Girls swimsuits must be one-piece or tankini
o While there are lockers available for valuables, our group will have an area to place bags with an adult present at all times.

Wednesday
We will be doing a service project at St. Patrick’s in the morning, and going to a Twins game in the afternoon.
• Our project will involve paint, so they’ll need clothes that could get paint on them.
• Your child may want to bring a change of clothes for the Twins game.
• There will be concessions available at the stadium, but we will provide lunch on the way there and a snack on the way back. If your child brings money, we recommend less than $20.

Thursday
We will be spending the day at Valleyfair!
• Youth must wear their t-shirts this day. It helps us identify the group in crowds.
• There is a water park inside Valleyfair, we recommend bringing swimming materials (swimsuit and towel and water shoes, if they have them) since most youth choose to swim at some point in the day. Girls swimsuits must be one-piece or tankini.
• There is a gift shop and food booths at Valleyfair as well, but certainly no need for youth to bring money.

Your child is responsible for keeping track of things they bring with them. Lost money or valuables will not be the responsibility of St. Patrick. We will hand out T-shirts on Tuesday or Wednesday and we wear them as a group on Thursday.

Finally, should you need to get a hold of me for any reason, I will be reachable on my cell: 763-218-5375.
