Going Beyond the School Day
Through programs like Beyond the Bell and Club B, kids in our elementary and middle schools have access to fun, meaningful after-school activities. And – like teachers – the people who lead the activities are trained in Whole Child practices like social emotional learning. That way, after school feels directly connected to the school day – with people who care, know and support our kids.
Hear from Shon Sylvia, Executive Director of Metro Parks Tacoma, why it’s so important to build strong programs for Tacoma’s kids when they’re not at school.
