After School Programs, starting Monday, April 21st, includes the following. For a complete list, click the link below.

After School String Ensemble: Jason Gorelick, a highly acclaimed violinist, works with two separate groups of students. The first is for experienced musicians who would like an opportunity to play together in ensemble and the second is for beginner violinists. Thanks to a generous donation from JEF, all students may choose to borrow a violin from the school free of charge.

Knitting: New and experienced knitters spend time together to make hats and mittens which they then donate locally. One of the projects students participate in is making fun and cheerful caps for children undergoing chemotherapy.

Double Dutch Jump Roping: This program is a fast-paced and exciting way for students to burn energy while learning the art of double dutch jump roping. It is a great opportunity to have a physical workout while having loads of fun!

Hot Air balloon: Students have been working for over a year to complete a large-scale hot air balloon which they can launch with the aid of a full size burner. The balloon will be used for science experiments in (and outside of!) the classroom for years to come!
