Thank you!

You asked, we listened! 📣 After last year's community survey indicated a need for more after-school opportunities, we expanded programming to four days. The first session ends this week, and we have had so much fun giving kids a screen-free space to create, grow, and build friendships! ✨

Case in point: check out this collaboration between our Maker Monday and Tools & Trades Thursday classes! Our Thursday kiddos built the boards and our Monday crew added the string art, with amazingly colorful and creative results. 🧵🔨

Read more about the skills kids are building in after-school activities here: https://www.erbmrec.com/post/four-days-of-after-school-fun-build-important-skills-and-address-community-need

(P.S. As of this posting, Session 2 of Tools & Trades still has a few openings! Register now at erbmrec.com/afterschool)
