Currently we have a 1st - 3rd grade group that has focuses on reading 20 minutes a day, practicing spelling words and working on math facts! Children in this group have learned how to play chess (great for recognition of patterns and building strategies), engaged in arts and crafts, made their own kites, and participated in sports clinics put on by our staff members! We are so pleased with the progress this group has made!
Jump Start has a 4th – 6th grade group of students that read for 20 minutes a day, practice spelling, and math facts! This group of students also has homework help for other assignments they may have. They enjoy leadership activities, sports clinics, arts and crafts, Cookie Jar Mystery Kit (science kit), Lego Mania (engineering kit) and Cooking Sessions! Staff and students chose our current curriculum of activities during their leadership meetings. Students have a large say in their enrichment activities.
