Enrichment Programs
The end of the school day doesn’t mean an end to learning. The goal of the Enrichment Program is to offer students a fun environment to explore and expand their interests and provide parents a convenient program upon which they can rely. Students’ selections of activities will be assigned on a first come, first served basis as the number of participants may be limited or have a minimum requirement.
