The after school program begins immediately after the dismissal bell (3:26 pm) and runs until 5:10 pm. Students are provided a healthy snack before beginning their homework. After homework is completed, students participate in an enrichment period with different activities every week. Some of the activities include, animals, art, board games, building, creative writing, dance, drama, fitness, history, music, reading, science, social studies and Veteran’s Day. Character Education and the Sunshine Club (community service) are offered every session.
