After School Enrichment Workshops
Dear McNear Families,
It's been a long year apart! I am so thankful to have some more opportunities to be together and offer our kids a chance to see old friends and meet new ones. To that end, after school enrichment will be happening this spring! It will be different than in years past, but hopefully your students will want to join in! We've got some great classes.
This year we are having shorter sessions in an effort to include more friends. Please only sign up for one session to begin, we want as many kids who are interested to have an opportunity to participate. If classes do not fill we will offer spots to repeat students. All sessions will be MASKED, OUTSIDE, and will not have more than 12 participants. SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE!!! If you need a scholarship, PLEASE ASK!!!! There are spots for all students, please email me immediately - we want your student to be part of after school!!!
Below is the schedule and other info about all of the available classes. Read carefully, the dates and times are different between the classes. Some classes require online registration, others you email me at lilykreimer@gmail.com. Please reach out with any questions. And sign up quickly - classes are first come, first serve. Ask your kid's friends to join. This is going to be amazing. Hope to see many of you there!
Thank you and take care,
Lily Kreimer
