Dear EVCS Families,

We’re looking forward to welcoming you and your children in a couple of weeks! As you prepare and plan for this year we wanted to share some useful information about after school activities and school food.

On-Site Afterschool Programming

GAK offers hands-on, child-centered science- and art-based after school programming that will enhance our students understanding of their own personal bodies, their immediate environment, and the larger world that we all inhabit. This program will encourage youth to become more insightful about who they are, the gravity of their actions, and how they can make positive choices for themselves, and the Earth. Each day we will be working on student-driven projects with teacher’s guidance.

Child’s Play NY

This fall our EVCS program will do a production of The Lion King Kids with Child’s Play NY. The African savanna comes to life on our stage with Simba, Rafiki and an unforgettable cast of characters as they journey from Pride Rock to the jungle… and back again, in this inspiring, coming-of-age tale.

Improvisation and theater games help stoke creativity, create an ensemble and develop the spirit of play as students rehearse a play in a semester. A great session for kids to increase confidence, craft, and their ability to work as part of an ensemble. Kids learn how to create a character from a place of instinct and play. They also amass skills in singing, dance, speech, and improvisation taught by master teachers and performers at the top of their field. The class culminates in a final performance for the community.

Fridays from 2:50p-4:45p
September 13 – December 13
The program is $423 for the semester
Register here!
