After School Enrichment
January 24, 2022
ASE
Bell Graham is holding an IN-PERSON ASE this year!!! YAY! ASE for our school will be held from February 7th-March 3rd.
What is ASE?
Great question. ASE stands for After School Enrichment and it is a month worth of after school programming for your students! Our ASE programming is a fundraiser for the PTO but it also allows our students to explore new activities and learn new skills. 2022 Bell-Graham ASE offers 4-6 classes each day (Monday-Thursday, with one Friday the 25th) after school from 3:00-4:15pm - IN-PERSON! Classes cover a variety of topics: art, science, sports, crafts, animals, technology, language, health and safety, theater, and more!
Please keep watch on the BG weekly ENews, released on Wednesday afternoons, for updates, as well as our FB page. Make sure to “like” us on FB: https://www.facebook.com/bellgrahamelementarypto
IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING ASE:
Classes/Experiences for the WHOLE month will be released for registration on JANUARY 26th, 2022 at 8PM. Registration closes FEBRUARY 2nd, 2022 at 8PM. We will use our online web store: http://bell-graham-pto.square.site/ for payment and registration. Please follow all directions and answer all registration questions on our Square website to insure proper registration(s) for your student(s).
Here is a link to our entire class list which includes the dates, costs, and grade levels for each experience. Please note the grade levels as you are signing up to make sure the class is age-appropriate for your student. All class descriptions are included and any specific requirements (like bring your own ball, etc) are noted.

Due to current COVID restrictions and social distancing guidelines, some of our classes have class maximums to allow for safety. If possible, please try to limit your child(ren) to take NO MORE THAN 2 classes per week. This gives all BG families the opportunity to experience the fun of ASE in February!
Lastly, we wouldn’t be able to pull off our yearly ASE program without parent volunteers. To make ASE a success, we need parent help for things like student dismissal and supervision in the more hands-on programs. Please consider signing up for some after-school shifts to not only help out your PTO, but to get inside the school and get some time with your child(ren).Also - if you’ve been wondering how to get involved or how to meet some other parents at the school, this is one great way that is also very low-pressure.
As a reminder, anyone entering the school to work with students must show valid Driver's License or state-issued ID, and proof of vaccination OR a negative test within 72 hours.
Also, all parents must complete the Volunteer Liability Form. Link: https://district.d303.org/doc/1H-TNgaPVLu1QEc15q3-Tgqn04Yb0sWVi

We are so very excited to share these wonderful IN-PERSON experiences with our Bobcats all while fundraising for our school! Historically ASE is a large fundraiser for our school – while this year is slightly down-sized, please still consider signing your student(s) up for at least one class or experience. We have a wide variety of classes lined up for your families. It’ll be a fun February/March!!!
