It's one sign of spring that we don't like to see - yesterday was the final day for the year of REACH and McGill University's "Double Challenge Program". In this program, all REACH students spend one morning a week at McGill, taking advantage of the specialized equipment, facilities, including the gym and pool, and teaching expertise, available at McGill.
The way the program works, all the REACH students and accompanying staff get on a school bus in the morning and are transported to McGill. Then, each student is paired with a McGill special education student, who puts together a program based on the student's level and aptitude.
For the past few years, the REACH Governing Board and volunteer parents have organized a spaghetti lunch when the bus returns from McGill. This is enjoyed by all and definitely helps to streamline the balance of the day.
