Curriculum Enhancement
Now in its second year, Curriculum Enhancement has two components. First, the after school fee-for-service activities (registration forms went home in students’ weekly folders the first week of school) and second, club activities which will start the week of Labor Day. Clubs typically meet in the morning from 7:15-7:45 a.m. free of charge. We need your help in making the clubs available to our children. Come out weekly, a few times a month or whatever works in your schedule, and join our morning club fun. You don’t need to be a mathematician to volunteer with homework help or be a runner to help with jogging club. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact christina@themaneros.com.
