KC Afterschool is more than just fun and homework!  Each week students rotate through different activities that are designed to continue their academic and personal development after the traditional school day is over.  These include STEAM, social-emotional growth, creativity, fitness, environmental studies and much more!

Here are some highlights of this week’s activities:

Kindergarten

1st-2nd Grades

Balloon Cars (STEAM)

Students will make cars that move out of red Solo cups, straws, and balloons.  This activity will teach students about air velocity and propulsion.

Thankfulness Cards (Social-Emotional Learning)
