This is a sample of one of our Grant Adventure Time newsletters: WELCOME! Switching gears from the relaxed days of summer to the hustle and bustle of the new school year is quite an adjustment for both students and adults alike. However, we have all been looking forward to being back at Grant to be with our cozy, comfy, and close-knit family. We enjoy it so. So, welcome to Grant A.T. one and all.

HOMEWORK HEROES If your student is interested in doing his or her homework at Adventure Time, thereby freeing up evenings, we have a Homework Heroes Club that he or she may join. At 3:15 daily (2:15 Wednesdays), our staff is available to answer any of your child's homework questions. Students receive credit on a chart and then after a certain number of days, receive prizes as they advance through the chart. Upon completion of their chart, they receive a certificate of achievement. Here's to a new and exciting fun-filled school year! The Adventure Time staff
