“This program is being run and overseen by Mrs. Parker, who runs our CARES Program,” announced Brand. “The ACE Program is an effort to not replace the activities we currently have at the school, but to expand after school opportunities for students and to provide some flexibility in terms of creative thinking and new and innovative ideas & programs that staff may come up with to provide an outlet for students to get involved after school.”
“The first session runs from October 15 to December 19. The cost is $60 per student per club,” said Brand. “These are running on Tuesdays and Thursdays.”
Two late buses will provide transportation to students in order to support these new clubs and activities. Fall offerings include Mindfulness & Yoga, Happiness Club, Minecraft, and Improv.
