Toddler Tuesday finale: This Tuesday, May 22, is our last Toddler Tuesday of the school year. We’ll have a couple of extra activities, and our friends from National Heritage Academies will be here giving away some goodies.
It’s baseball season! We are excited about our new partnership with Flames baseball, a Christian, nonprofit club that runs programs around the Grand Rapids area. It would be great to have a strong turnout for the Summer 1 sessions starting on June 11:
- T-ball (ages 5-7), Mondays 5:30-6:30pm
- Baseball (ages 8-9), Mondays 6:30-7:30pm
Please help us out by sharing this information about our new collaboration with friends and family. Thanks!
Communications Focus Group: We are looking for some ‘kreative’ Kroc Krew members who are willing to help the Marketing and HR departments define and revise the ways we communicate with employees. Part-time and non-admin staff preferred! This commitment is expected to be no more than five hours total; please contact Jon Shaner if interested.
A special THANK YOU! … to our Kroc Krew members in aquatics, recreation, facilities, and events who will be working late nights for the all-night graduation parties here over the next couple of weeks. These events not only expose large groups to the Kroc Center, but also serve the important purpose of giving students a safe way to celebrate the end of high school.
Reminder: The Kroc Center is CLOSED on Memorial Day, Monday, May 28.
Send an email to RJ Kroc if you see someone going above and beyond for our guests! Here are some examples from this week:
- “Lots of good things being said about our knowledgeable instructors. Lewis (Richards) specifically was given praise for his dedication to his students and his willingness to go the extra mile to help them achieve their goals.”
- “The game room had a great atmosphere today. Harmony, Samantha, Kelsey, and Wynter were all engaging kids in board games, Pictionary, table tennis, etc., while a few families came in and enjoyed themselves as well.”
- Please send in more examples of radical hospitality!
