After School Program

Each afternoon, immediately after the bell, students in Grade 3-6 are able to participate in Free Play. Families will need to register students for this program in our office.

  • Positive support and mentorship that nurtures healthy relationships 

  • The positives from a kid smiling when they kick, throw or hit a ball.
