News From The Plex

April 7, 2011
Dear Customer,

Spring is here and we're going green!  We have replaced the paper towel dispensers in the restrooms with air dryers.  This will save almost 2.25 million feet of paper and 3,000 bags of garbage each year, as well as keep our restrooms cleaner.

It's also time to think about Spring Break Camps--hockey, soccer and science are all available. 

And we have a number of events coming up in April including a Spring Fest, Shred Day and Blood Drive.   

We are pleased to introduce Sheila Ellison, best-selling author, teacher and college application coach.  If you have a high schooler, be sure to check out the information on College Application Essays, below. 

There's lots more going on.... see the index at right for a quick reference to the topics that might interest you. 

Have a great weekend.  We hope to see you at the Plex!

First Focus Learning Systems ~ Reading Programs
LogoThe First Focus Reading program teaches reading using phonics and the most logical set of reading concepts to empower children to read. These concepts have been crafted using each building block of information of how the English Language works. This knowledge is placed on "Charts" where the child can check information and feel grounded and confident in their ability to read.

See how we improve your child's reading in just one 45-minute introductory session. Free intro classes on Saturdays at 11am at Silver Creek Sportsplex.  Please RSVP to 650-938-3100 or info@FIrstFocus.com.

First Focus Learning Systems will also be conducting an exciting series of one week JumpStart Summer Camps starting July 5 through August 12, 2011.  The program includes an academic morning session (9:00 AM-12:00 PM) with a separate afternoon session starting with lunch (Noon-1:00PM) , followed by a fun filled enrichment program.(1:00-4:00 PM).  You may choose just morning or afternoon sessions or both.  The JumpStart morning sessions are designed to prepare  students with specific skills necessary for PreSchool through the fourth grade.  All classes are designed to offer a fun and effective learning experience, with no homework!
