On-Site After School Enrichment Classes

Cherry Crest will be offering a number of After School Classes and Clubs during the year, often in 6-8 week sessions. This year the clubs, dates, and times are not yet finalized due to issues related to space and building scheduling. In the past these clubs have included Magic, Drama, Clay Animation, Lego, Flag Football, and Spanish. It is unknown what clubs will be offered this year.

When these clubs are finalized, we will advertise sign-ups on the website as well as in the Chatter.
