Hello Arlington After School Families,
Welcome to the AASP blog! I hope this post finds your families safe and healthy. If you don't know me, I'm Ms. Rachel, the Assistant Site Coordinator of the Arlington After-School Program at Thompson (or Thompson After-School, or even TASP, as we like to call it).
As I write this, our AASP teachers at Hardy, Thompson, Gibbs, Peirce and Brackett Immersion are hard at work developing new ways to offer enrichment programming to our students. One of the things I have always loved about AASP is the diversity among our teachers. Each teacher is unique; all possessing their own background, knowledge base, talents, and areas of interest. Soon, your families will be able to access video content from each of our teachers. We'll be offering video cooking classes, gardening tips, scavenger hunts, pathfinder games, variety shows, art projects, music lessons, and so much more. We're even looking into the ability to host live, interactive classes for our students! It's truly remarkable stuff.
Though I absolutely miss physically being at school and seeing everyone each day, I must say I am so proud of how tenacious, flexible and forward thinking our teachers have been during this time. Our entire staff has risen to the occasion and then some. I hope that offering this content to your children will help teach and inspire everyone to stay involved with us as we navigate these uncharted waters together. On behalf of all AASP administrators and staff, I want to thank each of you for your continued patience and support as we figure this new version of AASP out. Our Arlington community is so special, and your faith in us proves that.
Our connection with you begins with this blog. Community is super important to our team, and we know that spending this lengthy time apart could leave everyone feeling a bit disconnected. We hope this blog will offer a familiar space to stay updated, interact with us, and ultimately continue to feel connected during these socially isolating times. It will be updated by different AASP administrators throughout our time apart, so check back frequently if you're looking for specific updates from different programs.
Thank you, and I can't wait to see everyone again soon.
Take care,
Rachel
