That’s quite a title for an after-school program, but someone’s expectations are BIG, to say the least! I’m sure if you were to visit with the people who help run the program, they would agree as well…
HJM, Travis, JR, and the Seadrift School have a new after- school program which started this school year, and it was all because of a grant. The Seadrift School currently has enrolled up to twenty-eight students. The program is in the afternoons from 3:30 to 6:30 Tuesday through Thursday. The same cafeteria staff fixes a hot meal for the “after-school campers.” The schedule is: meal, “homework help”, recess, on-line programs, snack, and extra-curricular activities such as gardening, fitness, art, and student-based interests.
According to the Seadrift School’s assistant principal, Fjola Briscoe, “the school’s mission is to build a program that the community can be proud of. Any community member or entity can apply to volunteer and participate in our enrichments (extra-curricular). Students can participate at any of the schools in Calhoun County that have the after-school program.” -Tanya DeForest
