After-School Programs doing well at YES & YMS

Our 21st Century Community Learning Centers grant has helped us establish after-school programs at YES and YMS this year. Both programs are off to a good start.

Here are some tid-bits on each:
1) We have 75 students enrolled in the BOOST Program at YES. This programs runs Monday-Thursday from 3:30-5:30 for children in 2nd-5th grade. Each participant receives a healthy snack, homework assistance time, recess/physical activity time, and gets to participate in special workshops like Zumba Tonic, career awareness, etc.

2) We have close to 40 students enrolled in the ALL-STARS Program at YMS. This program runs Monday-Thursday from 3:30-6:00 PM and allows for healthy snacks, physical activity time, homework assistance, academic enrichment, and special guest speakers and activities. They've already experienced a card club, art club, and presentations on crocheting and careers in aeronautics.

Thanks to York General Hospital and "The Let's Move Grant" for partnering with us!
