Parent Testimonials
"My son thinks that dodge ball is the best part. I think as a parent knowing where he was and that he was having a good time and came home happy after school was the best for me."
"I knew he was safe and having fun making new friends."
"I like that students are able to get homework help and also be active after school instead of coming home."
"Not having to be home alone. Fun for the kids, free, and helps out parents."
