Afterschool is free for all district K-8 students!

A 21st Century Community Learning Center investment makes our high quality programs possible. Each Sign Up sheet provides an opportunity to make a donation. Donations from families and businesses will help us to expand our programs!

WHY Afterschool?

Studies show that quality afterschool programs boost kids' school attendance, engagement in learning, and likelihood of attending college. They also help kids develop social and emotional skills, like problem solving and cooperation — and they help prevent risky behaviors. We welcome you to visit our program any time to learn more about the exciting learning opportunities that are available with KEAP.
