The Three Rs
This week at Achievers, we focus on ways to eliminate waste and protect our environment. Kids will learn fun and alarming facts, knowledge of how and why we recycle, how it happens, what to recycle and how much energy it can save. They will learn about small things they can incorporate in their routine that will make a great difference to our environment in the long run. They will engage in activities and projects that involve reusing and upcycling things of no use and turning them into pieces of art or of use. The ultimate goal for this camp is to make kids environment smart and ingrain a sense of appreciation and defense for their natural resources.

Improvement: Better ways of communication. This was my son's first time in this camp. On the last day of the week, there was a pizza treat and he was the only kid who did not get the pizza. The reason being that the parent had not signed for the pizza. I was never informed during the week about this until my son came in the evening upset about not getting pizza.
I am sad to hear about the Pizza issue. We communicate the Friday pizza lunch that families can sign up for in many ways.
An email is sent out to all families before the camp starts that has all the details on what to expect during the week including Pizza Friday with instructions on how to sign up.
We have a Pizza sign up sheet right next to the Attendance sign-in sheet so parents don't miss it. This is placed there on Monday and stays until Friday.
We also do multiple assemblies with children to go over what is happening during the week and pizza Friday is also announced at that time.
We order pizzas according to the number of sign-ups we get. It's unfortunate you missed the multiple reminders.
However, I saw your son feeling sad that he was not signed up, and I personally offered him pizza that he did have. I didn't want him to feel the way he was feeling. You can fact-check that with him.
Again, I apologize for the inconvenience this situation might have caused.
Best Regards,
Divya
I apologize for the mistake. When I checked again, it turns out you did offer him pizza.
