Once students arrive, they participate in the YMCA Bus-In Adventure program in a safe, active, and welcoming environment where they can build friendships, participate in activities, stay active, and have a dependable place to spend their afternoons while their families finish the workday.
Attached is a flyer with a QR code for families to fill out their interest form for the Bus-In Adventure program.

Every school day is an opportunity to learn, grow, connect, and succeed! Regular attendance plays an important role in your student’s success. When students are in school and engaged in learning, they have more opportunities to build strong academic skills, stay connected with their teachers and classmates, and reach their goals.
As parents and guardians, one of the most important things we can do to support our children is make sure they are at school, on time, and ready to learn each day. Being present helps students stay on track academically, build relationships, participate in activities, and make the most of every opportunity.
Let’s work together to help our Pirates make every school day count!
