Flash Dads ILEARN Hype Day- April 15th
We are so excited to announce that in partnership with the Team Berkley Foundation, we will be organizing our second annual ILEARN Hype Day! We ask that on the morning of Monday, April 15th, dads are invited to greet students as they enter the school building. This is our first day of ILEARN testing. We hope that this event will help encourage students to do their best on their testing and know that the community is cheering them on!
Please arrive before 8:30 am. Parking will be located in the field behind our parking lot. Due to the car rider line back up on Halcyon Road, visitors will need to use the entrance next to the Charlestown Public Library to enter our campus. When you arrive, the Team Berkley Foundation will organize visitors into two groups to greet car riders and bus riders. Students will begin arriving at 8:40 am.
The deadline to RSVP for this event is Friday, April 5th. Please use this link to Sign Up to attend.
