Miller Park
Elementary School CLC (Community Learning Center)

daVinci at the federally-funded after-school CLC during spring break, and

Ashland, Neb., for the daVinci exhibit, all in honor of the after-school staff

Karen Western
Elementary School
6224 H St., Ralston
Public Schools
January through May 2009: provided once a week enrichment
activities from 1:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. for low-income after-school children;
started with about 12 participants and ended with 50; students went on field
trips, had guest presenters, put on a comedy club, did science experiments,
went swimming and ice skating, and did crafts; field trips are always a kid
favorite, and since low-income families often can't afford a field trip fee,
underwriting trips for after-school programs is an important enrichment aid.
