BOXES, PACKING TAPE & NEWSPAPER NEEDED
START DONATING NOW FOR OUR BIG MOVE!
BASIS Families, the school needs us to donate boxes, packaging tape, and/or newspaper so teachers can start packing for our big move to the new building. These supplies can be brought directly to the school so we can store them until teachers need them.  If bringing boxes, please break them down so they are easy to store.  Thank you!

April 5:  Sedona

Oak Creek


View from Cathedral Rock Base

Meet at BASIS at 7:15 am to carpool to Sedona and hike alongside scenic Oak Creek to majestic Cathedral Rock. (We expect to be back by 3:30 pm.)
This 1.5 mile (total) trail is relatively easy most of the way with a short steep section near the top of the trail. Small dogs are not recommended - expect your dog to enjoy splashing and swimming in the creek!

April 7 - Tom's Thumb: 7:30 am meet to carpool; 8:10 am to meet at the trailhead

This is a moderately challenging hike, gaining over 1,000 ft elevation up to the 'thumb' of Tom's Thumb (seen in the photo). There and back is 5.6 miles. Hiking poles are recommended, and only experienced hiking dogs are recommended.

UPCOMING HIKES:
April 12: Overton Trail Loop at Cave Creek Regional Park
April 14: Dixie Peak/ Two Bit Peak in the Phoenix Mountain Preserve
April 19: Phoenix Preserve
April 21: Gateway to Wingate Pass
SUPPLIES NEEDED
HELP PREVENT YOUR STUDENT FROM GETTING COLDS OR FLU BY DONATING SUPPLIES:
The school is in need of supplies! We are grateful for all the donations so far this year, but as you know we're in the middle of cold and flu season. Thus we could use your help stocking the school with supplies such as Kleenex, disinfecting wipes, paper towels and hand sanitizer. (We use the disinfecting wipes to clean door knobs, tables, and light switches to minimize illness). Below are a few Amazon links for the needed supplies. If it's more convenient for you, have them delivered directly to the school at: BASIS Scottsdale 11440 N. 136th St. Scottsdale, AZ 85259
We appreciate your help!
