Spring After School Activities
The largest activity that Friends of Harvey Milk Civil Rights Academy (“FoHM”) manages and supports and funds is the After School program. The program is funded by grants and by donations from individuals which makes it free for all kids to participate (and almost all of the kids in the school do participate!)
For the 2nd half of this school year, the After School program is offering a variety of great choices for the kids, in addition ongoing tutoring and academics:
- Monday Chess Club and SPCA Puppy Dog Tales
- Basketball and Yoga on Tuesdays and Wednesdays
- Community Walls Art & MakArt Programs on Thursdays
- Friday Clubs
For Friday Clubs, the kids choose from:
- Hip Hop (learning routines to perform for the school)
- Passion for Fashion (creating accessories)
- Gardening (planting and growing to green the schoolyard)
- Drama (improv, masks, puppets, creating a performance)
- Digital Design (photo editing, layout, movie making)
- Photography (studio and outdoor)
- Science (exploration and theory, be a “Mad Scientist!”)
- Arts and Crafts (group projects – last year they created a mural)
- Team Sports (practice and learn rules of games)
- Robotics (build and program robotic dogs and cats)
- Video Games and Computers
Snacks!! We are working to improve the After School snack program. The first thing we’re doing is replacing juice boxes with tap water and teaching the kids about water. Next we’ll start improving the nutrition of the food the kids eat for snack.
We’re looking for ideas for healthier snacks for the kids on our tight budget and/or a sponsor for healthier snacks. Send suggestions or ideas for sponsorship or an offer of sponsorship to Susan Tramontana (who runs the after school program) at afterschool@harveymilk.com
