Registration began this week for the early spring session of RAP (Recreation After-school Programs). Most classes will begin the first week of March.
Once again, there is a great variety of offerings. There are classes to get your kids’ hearts pumping or creative juices flowing. Educational classes sharpen their skills or expand their minds.
I also noticed a great marketing change.
Veggiecation is still offered, but now pitched to kids as “Fun with Food”. (I’m sure that for most kids, being signed up for that class is much easier to swallow.)
Most of these classes take place at the school immediately after dismissal. Parents simply pick children up from school at 4:00 pm. (Neary and Trottier classes have some exceptions, including longer classes. So make sure to read details before you register.)
