our after school program

We finished up another exciting and successful year of providing after school care at McKinley school Friday. Everybody felt relief, nostalgia, anticipation of summer activities, and all the other related emotions. We are very well connected now with efforts around the state for quality after school care, and advocacy efforts, primarily through the WV Statewide Afterschool Network. Jane Hange is a wealth of resources and information. She has connected after school programs with their county's and the state's Title I program contacts, to explore new uses of Title I funding, and stimulus money for new programming that fits the eligible student population for Title I. We, again, appreciate our already established good relationship with Wood County schools, and particularly Title I programming, with our Truancy Diversion program, and work with McKinley school. Additionally we maintain our contract for providing homeless student liaison work, through the McKinney-Vento act with the schools.
