You Asked, We Listened....More Food!

Since everyone enjoyed the meal so much last time and asked us to do it again, who are we to refuse!

Our chef has created an amazing menu full of local produce.

Enjoy a wonderful meal August 10^th and allow our chef, Sue Cline to cook for you. Pick up is between 5-6:30 Friday, 405 w. 32nd st Richmond, Va 23225. If you need to arrange a different pickup time, contact us and we will try and accommodate! Pay pal does not offer a lot of payment options, so if you need more than one meal, simply contact us at learningtreeacademyrva@gmail.com or vlmccauley@verizon.net and tell us what you want. We will then send you an invoice.

Before I go on to the amazing menu, I…no WE ALL wanted to say thank you so much for the support. First day of class is September 10^th and we could not have done it without the support we have received!

On to the menu...

Grilled Lime Garlic Shrimp with Roasted Corn, Tomato and Black Bean Salad

Celebrate summer with a delicious and healthy combination. Grilled shrimp marinated with lime and a hint of garlic served with a salad of roast organic corn, local organic tomatoes and Cuban style black beans. Served with flour tortilla.

For dessert enjoy Pastel de Tres Leches (three milk cake), a delightful vanilla flavored confection.

Vegetarian option:

Who We Are

We originally started with the idea of making this a 5 day
cooperative. However, for this year at
least, we have decided that the advantage of having such a small class allow
for faster coverage of the material.
Switching to a 3 day cooperative allow for more time for additional
field trips, enrichment and even just plain old play.

The concept of Learning Tree was bringing together the best of
what homeschooling, private schools and public school offer. You have built in peer interaction of the public
school, tied with the small class size of private school, enhanced by the hands
on involvement of homeschooling. We
realized if every parent agreed to help staff the school, from library runs to
teaching music (if they were so talented) we could focus resources on hiring a
teacher, field trips, curriculum and library books. As a cooperative,
cost is distributed equally among all parents, as are responsibilities. It is truly "YOUR" school.

Our space has an art room, music room and even a library. The
maximum class size will allow for a 10:1 student teacher ratio. And most of the time the teacher will have a
parent volunteer to help break children out into groups.

We also offer an opportunity for those satisfied with the
education aspect of homeschooling to just join us for the enrichment part of the day.

We understand this is a whole new model that provokes a lot
of questions. Please contact us we are glad to help answer them. Also all our weekly meetings are open so please join us sometime to learn more!

Happy Learning!
