The Immigrant and Refugee Academy has now joined Twitter! Give us a follow at @IandRAcademy.

Today I and R returns to our regular school year schedule. We will be at the North-East library 4:30-7:30 Tuesdays and Thursdays providing homework assistance, tutoring, and English skills for all immigrant and Refugee children. We hope to see you all there. Volunteers are also welcomed.

Reminder tomorrow night is our IandR dinner party at Jenny Rae's house. All staff, volunteers, and students are invited. If you need directions or anything please contact Jenny via Facebook or email [email protected] Also Tuesday is our trip to Kaleidoscope. We will be arriving at 1pm if you wish you join us.

We kicked off our I and R summer activities today with a trip to the McCoy Park Spraygrounds. The kids really loved playing in the water and the ones who were too scared to try hung out on the playground. Special thanks to Brett Srader for stepping in and transporting extra kids so we didn't have to turn anyone away.

Thank you KCPL-Northeast for hosting a creativity day! Students were able to create their own board game to bring home and show all of their friends. Watch out Milton-Bradley, we have innovators on our hands!

There will be no class today at the library due to the JVS Refugee Forum. We will resume classes next Tuesday. We hope everyone has a great weekend.

Professional Lego builder in the making!

The "Charades" app is not only fun to play with friends, but also a great learning tool as you can create a category fit to your liking. It's safe to say that we dominate at this game! Our student, Adulracman, is a pro!

Busy day here at I&R! (21/01/2016)
