Welcome to the Winter 2021 session of after-school enrichment opportunities! Even though classes are not meeting in person, many of these classes are fun and engaging ways for students to learn and engage in different areas of interests like cooking, art, dance, computer programing and engineering or to supplement the school day through history, math, languages, or book clubs.
This Winter 2021, we have several vendors offering some awesome after-school enrichment opportunities that are currently enrolling. At this time, we are not using Homeroom to enroll, so please visit individual resources for class and enrollment information. Any questions can be emailed to Mary-Elizabeth Robinson: maryerobinson@gmail.com.
