New 6th Grade Happenings

In an effort to reach out to some of our early "tweens", we have compiled daily activities, specifically targeting our 6th graders. Each day of the week a different staff member leads a new activity. Here's what we have going on now:
Monday: Indoor Gaga Ball
Tuesday: Culinary Club
Wednesday: Field Trip
Thursday: Music, movies and videos
Friday: Cooking and Crafts
 
The response so far has been great, and we look forward to working more with these members!
