Dear Parents,

We are pleased to offer "On Our Way Home," an after school academic enrichment program for Kindergarten through 8th grade students of St. Peter's. Our goal is to provide necessary educational assistance presented in an atmosphere of learning and fun.

The program content is arranged to enhance skills and homework needs for the students and will primarily focus on the following areas:

  • Reading and Vocabulary boosters
  • Math skills enhancement
  • Phonics games and activities
  • Math and vocabulary flash cards
  • Providing safe Faith-Based Environment
  • Directing quality learning, recreation and social skills
  • Encouraging interactions with all grade levels 

We plan to also include some play time, a healthy snack program, arts and crafts activities, and weekly movies.

The program will begin each day following the close of school. Naturally, since this is an after school program, we will not be in session on holidays, vacations, or other occasions when school is closed. The same holds true for snow days. The children MUST be picked up no later than 6:00 PM so that we can return our space for parish activities.

Behavioral expectations for the children remain consistent with the policies of St. Peter School. Our plan is to provide supervised care directed toward education and recreation.

I encourage you to consider our program and the advantages it will offer you and your child. I look forward to the opportunity to work with each of you at this new level and to continue my affiliation with the parents and children of St. Peter School.

Sincerely,

Fran Hensel
