Our Activities
While all sites have literacy, math, science, seasonal sports, arts and crafts and health and fitness activities, staff and students both have input into what recreational and club-based activities happen at any particular site. And of course, all students get opportunities to take special field trips and to attend citywide events throughout the year.
Take a look at some of the exciting activities going on at our sites!
