A Typical Afternoon

Snack

An Afterschool Program starts with student check-in and snack. Kenosha Unified Food Services provides a healthy snack and milk for students.   A structured outdoor recess may occur after snack and/or between Power Hour and Enrichment activities.

Power Hour

Following snack all students participate in educational activities focused on fundamental knowledge in reading, writing, and math. Some students are given an opportunity to concentrate on the completion of their daily homework with support from staff. In addition teacher and college tutors work with small groups of students.
