What's Going On - Activities
After a long winter's nap, we are back and shakin in the after school programs! This is the time of year where we really begin to feel cabin fever creeping up on us. To battle this mid-winter inconvenience, our staff is continuously planning fun and engaging activities for our members.
Arts and crafts projects, "Fun Foods" enrichment sessions, Aerobic/Fitness Sessions, board game tournaments, and sports competitions are some of the many weekly activities keeping our kids busy!
What's Going On - Educationally
While our parents appreciate their children having fun, they also appreciate when their children complete their homework in the Power Hour program. The Power Hour program continues lay a strong foundation in our program. Before the students are eligible to participate in any daily activity or enrichment session, they must complete their homework to the best of their abilities! Let me also mention that PSE&G helped sponsor our Power Hour program in the 2012 school year., and we are very thankful for that!
Honorary Mentions
The West Orange Community House and Boys & Girls Club has been honored with a few outstanding schools/organizations who have been volunteering at a few of our sites. The Montclair Kimberly Academy student volunteers join the Washington School Program weekly to assist the students with homework, daily activities, and sports tournaments. The other organization is the National Council of Jewish Women who has provided top notch volunteers to our Gregory School Program(see below).
