Montecito Union School After School Program Spring 2013 A MESSAGE FROM AFTER SCHOOL COORDINATOR LORYN HODOSY March 2013 Dear Montecito Union School Families, Spring is upon us and summer won’t be far behind. It’s time for us to get outside and enjoy the beautiful Santa Barbara weather and that is just what 8 of the upcoming After School classes will allow you to do. We will be offering Spring in the garden, Yoga on the lawn, Bug Club, Cheerleading and Wanna Be Fit on the Terraces, as well as Soccer, Basketball and Team Volleyball too. The upcoming Spring Session begins the week of April 8th. As you read through the course descriptions, you will Mind that most of our popular classes have been continued. You will also Mind that 8 NEW classes have been added to our curriculum. I am extremely excited about these courses and hope the children feel the same. The pathway structure developed by the After School Task Force last year has been continued and includes multiple classes that students can choose based on their varied interests. The Arts Path allows students to explore art, dance, drama and music. The Extended Learning Path is an opportunity to further engage in courses that reinforce and extend knowledge and skills developed throughout the school day. The Health and Wellness Path includes opportunities for physical activity and developing healthy habits through sports and wellness courses. I hope that you explore these carefully chosen course offerings with the goal of Minding something your child Minds fun and engaging. I would encourage you to take this opportunity to support your child in discovering a new interest or deepening an existing passion! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
