Hi All! I would like to introduce a new after school enrichment program at Beye Elementary School that will run as a pilot through the PTO this fall. The program is called "Beye Discovery" and is designed to develop students' creativity and resourcefulness through activities in art, technology and science. The program is aligned with the school calendar, from 3-6pm M, T, TH & F and from 2-6pm on Wednesdays. Program options include part time (2-3 days per week) or full time (5 days per week). The cost is $25 per day. Teacher to student ratio is 1:5. Space is limited, with a maximum enrollment of 20 students. For more information and registration forms, please contact Jocelyne Adkins and Marta Huszar, Program Directors, at jadkins10@earthlink.net
