After School Program
Students make friends, enjoy a healthy meal, get help with homework and reading, play games, spend time outside and create crafts after school.
On Monday through Thursday, students read at least 20 minutes with a reading buddy or record themselves reading.
Every Friday is “Fun Friday,” and special activities or local and away fieldtrips take the place of homework time.
