AFTERSCHOOL

Many of the toughest challenges for students occur after the school bell rings. These issues can range from academic hurdles to the more basic need of finding a nourishing meal. Our afterschool program provides a safe, nurturing environment and so much more.

Our comprehensive and free afterschool programs are available to elementary and middle school students, with customized offerings unique to each age group. All our students enjoy nutritious snacks at the start of the program and finish with a hot meal. Our afterschool program focuses on six core areas – academic enrichment, sports and recreation, life skills, cultural enrichment, parental involvement, and community service.

Under careful supervision of our certified teachers, students can enhance their literacy skills, complete their homework assignments, and stay on track with their studies.

Exciting Enrichment Activities

Our Afterschool program also creates a dynamic space where kids can forge meaningful connections with their peers through engaging activities like sports, dance, cheerleading, symphony, robotics, literacy enhancement, and more. Our highly qualified afterschool staff members and partners nurture every interest.

I have ADD, and it’s very hard to concentrate. People don’t take time to explain how to do things with me because I’ll forget, but Ms. Murphy helps me with my homework after school. Now I’m on A/B honor roll and have an A in conduct.

Mrs. Tiffany helped me bring up my reading levels and encouraged me to join the after-school cheerleading team. I have much better grades now and actually understand what I’m learning in class.
