The Magnolia Student Center’s afterschool program has begun and is “full of fun, enrichment and building connections,” reported Jamie Secoda Martinez, the school’s personalized academic coach.
The program is offered 3 days a week with each day having three rotations. In the first rotation, students have an outdoor/indoor age appropriate play opportunity for fun. The second rotation offers “GLOW” time in which students have monthly themed enrichments and key skill building to build academics and character “to glow as the awesome individuals they are.”
The final rotation is “optimistic closures,” which includes culminating circle activities to reinforce the school’s culture of restorative practices with social emotional learning to build a connection with groups and the learning that took place that day.
