LearningWorks Afterschool is a project-based afterschool program focused on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Science) education.
LWAS is specifically designed to give students a positive learning experience that fosters excitement about learning and contributes to confidence and success in school!
Students participate in fun, hands-on engineering design challenges to build skills in: problem solving, teamwork, communication, and creative thinking. LWAS provides opportunities every day to practice and reinforce skills in reading (fiction and non-fiction), writing (science notebooks), math, speaking/listening, and vocabulary.
Visit the Learning Works Maine webpage or connect with our Learning Works Portland Facebook page for a glimpse of the invaluable academic and social opportunities we offer our students of all ages.
Special events and fieldtrips planned for Reiche participants and their families are posted on the Reiche web page "Learning Works" calendar .
Enrollment in LWAS is open to eligible students by invitation.

The Reiche "Walking School Bus" is a great way to get our 4th & 5th grade students who no longer qualify for bussing to school safely, on time and with adult support!
Won't you join us?!
Meet great adults and students, contribute in a meaningful way and enjoy an hour of cardio excercise!
We need additional WSB volunteers, specifically, a dedicated volunteer for Tuesdays and adults who can serve as on-call, "back-up" volunteers.
Adults leave Reiche school at 7:55 sharp each morning and follow a route through Mellen, Grant, Sherman, Weymouth, Boynton, Gilman, A and C Streets.
Please contact Susan Wiggin at 207-874-8175 or wiggis@portlandschools.org if you are interested to join us!
