Fun Friday at Aftercare

/in /by

Are your students looking for additional fun, after-school activities with friends?  Why not have them attend the Friday afternoon activities at our school’s Aftercare program?

Each Friday is a different themed activity that students of all ages can enjoy!  (Families must be registered with the Aftercare program before their student(s) can participate.)

This Friday, 1/11 will be BINGO with prizes for all!

Any questions, please reach out to Ms. Jean at jburdick@saintjamesschool.net.  The hourly Aftercare charge is just $10 an hour (for one child) if your family is not already on the “full-time” plan.

Here are a few pictures from this past Friday, which had the theme of Crafts!
