We are offering up to 50 students grades K-8 after school enrichment programs from 2:45-5:45pm Monday through Friday when school is in session. Every participant will receive a healthy snack, enrichment activities such as music, the arts, technology and academic clubs. In addition there will be homework help, recreational activities and tabletop games promoting social skill development.
