Wednesday Workshops
Each Wednesday afternoon, from 12:30 - 2:30, workshops are offered in the visual and performing arts, outdoor adventure, handcrafts, and other hands-on ventures. Students help to generate ideas for the workshops and choose which ones they will do. Workshops are led by teachers, parents, community members and students. Each workshop runs for a period of 3 - 6 weeks. Workshops often have a wider mix of ages than classes typically do.
