After School Enrichment

Spring after school classes are here! I brought back the very popular LEGO and chess classes this spring as well as a new class cooperated with North Creek High School. Due to the recent challenges in finding parent chaperones, I changed the process to encourage more parents to step up chaperoning the class. Please find the schedule below and scan the QR code for details. Please contact fernwoodptsaafterschool@gmail.com for any questions.
