After School Discovery

3/21/2024 9:17 am

The spring session of After School Discovery began Monday with 23 courses and about 270 students!

We still need adult volunteers to help! Your primary role will be to get students safely from the building to the adult who is picking them up. This is a super short volunteer opportunity – just 20 minutes, from 3:50-4:10ish. Especially consider signing up if you are going to be picking up your child anyway. Click here to sign up.
