After School

Creating equitable enrichment opportunities has been one of the Cheremoya Foundation's biggest goals. In order to do this, we are creating After School All-Stars. A parent-led, foundation-funded after-school program designed to meet the needs of Cheremoya families, inspire students, and foster their creativity.

Our hope is that All-Stars will bring out the very best in everyone involved. Cheremoya parent volunteers and staff will work together next fall to provide unique and engaging enrichment activities and physical education opportunities. Space will be limited, and a lottery system may be required to determine registration. If you have a talent you want to share or can lead an activity, please get in touch with us today! Make sure to subscribe to our newsletter for the latest information.
