Our afterschool program starts this Wednesday! We've changed it up a little bit but here is the basic schedule...
2:00-3:00 pm - Pick up students from various schools
3:30 - Arrive at Lighthouse - Work on homework
4:30 - Challenge/Open/Service/Tech
6:00 - Youth Choir/Meal Meeting
7:00 - The Point/SHARP Groups
We will leave an hour for homework. If a student needs more than that they can work on it during the 4:30 time slot. If a student doesn't have homework they will help setup the fellowship hall for our meal/Church activities.
Each week we will have a different theme. The theme of each week spells out the word C.O.S.T. This is a reminder that the afterschool program's cost IS FREE!!!
During the 4:30 time slot students will be...
Challenge - During this time a fun challenge/activity will be presented to them. They will try to work together as one group, or as separate teams to accomplish their goal.
Open - This week is left open. Students will have this week free to work on homework, play games, or just hang out.
Service - Many students are in need of service hours. This week gives student's opportunities to serve the community, the church, and eachother.
Tech - This week is dedicated to all things involving technology. Students will get to make videos/commercials, work on our website, and learn how to work other sound and video equipment.
Here is an example of a video, that a few of the youth made on a Wednesday...
