Update from the After-School Program Director, Shannon Madden

We are adding additional activities on Fridays during Session One! In addition to Lip Syncapalooza we will be offering Keyboard Club and Guitar~Ukulele Club for students in grades 3 to 6! Students will be in group workshops to learn and play chords and play along together to new songs. This is a great opportunity to try a new instrument!


If your student is already registered in the after-school program you only need to email me to let me know your student is signing up for a music club. Please include in your email which instrument they are interested in.


*If your student is not already registered they need to select an additional day to attend the program and fill out the full registration form. (It is a grant requirement for students to attend the program at least 2 days a week.) Registration forms can be emailed to me or returned to your student's classroom teacher A link to the form is below.


The After-School Program started on Monday, September 15th! We still have space in many of our activities for session one! The program is open on full days of school - Monday through Friday from 3:20 to 5:15 for grades 1st through 6th and Monday through Thursday for Kindergarten. Activities for session one include: Art Studio, Advanced Art, Outdoor Exploration, Mystery Quest, Lego Club, Harry Potter Club, Funday Thursday and Lip Syncapalooza, Guitar ~ Ukulele and Keyboard Clubs. The After-School Program is free to students thanks to the 21st Century Community Learning Center Grant through the Department of Education (DESE). DESE requires students to enroll and attend the program a minimum of 2 days a week. For more information, please contact me at smadden@rhconwell.org.
