Middle School After School Program

Grades 6th - 8th

Available: September 13, 2010 - May 13, 2011

The YMCA provides supervised daily activities, from 3:45 - 5:45pm, at each of the five Sioux Falls public middle schools.  The program, available to YMCA members and non-members, starts in September and ends in mid-May each day these schools are in full-session.

Activities include, but are not limited to: arts & crafts; computer lab; game room; physical activities; homework help; age-appropriate video games; and at some schools, an indoor skate park.  There are also monthly field trips to local attractions.  There is also regular participation by the following outside organizations: Minnehaha County Extension-4H; Boy Scouts; and Girl Scouts.  Daily snacks, as well as bus transportation to various stops within each school’s district, are provided.

 

This on-site program is held at the following schools: Axtell Park; Edison/First Presbyterian Church; Memorial; Patrick Henry; and Whittier.

The ASP is made available through the cooperative efforts of the Sioux Falls Family YMCA and Sioux Falls Public Schools. We greatly appreciate the financial support received from the Sioux Empire United Way, City of Sioux Falls, SD Arts Council, Golf Classic Sponsors, JCPenney and 21st Century Community Learning Centers. However, their support does not cover all of this program’s cost of operation.
