Join us on Saturday, October 24th, from 10 a.m.–12 p.m. at Margaret Chase Smith Community School for our annual Lights On Afterschool Open House Celebration!

We're bringing together all THREE REACH Afterschool sites for a morning of hands-on activities, STEM, robotics, creativity, community connections, and FUN as we celebrate the amazing year of afterschool learning ahead! Wear your costume and enter to win Best Costume award!

🎃 BONUS: THE GREAT COSTUME GIVEAWAY! Thanks to a generous donation from our local Walmart, we'll be giving away BRAND NEW Halloween costumes, accessories, and decorations—completely FREE! All sizes and a variety of styles, while supplies last!

💜 ALL MSAD 54 families are welcome! You don't have to be enrolled in REACH to join the fun!

We are so grateful to our community partners, especially the town support we receive for the incredible programming that we get to provide our students. Thank you to the Town of Norridgewock for your warm welcome of the REACH programs all around this school year and summer!!!

The Town was pleased to support REACH Adventure Camp last week by providing kayaks and a paddleboard for the campers to get out on the river and enjoy the outdoors!

A special thank-you to Mary McCann-Baker for her leadership and for thoughtfully involving the Town and our parks in this wonderful program.
