The Seaton PTO, in partnership with Seaton teachers and our afterschool enrichment partners, is proud to announce our Spring slate of afterschool enrichment opportunities for Seaton students. All clubs will run for 7 or 8 sessions, starting the week of April 20.
Sign up for teacher-led clubs is closed. Teacher-led clubs are free of charge to all participants, made possible through PTO funding of approximately $50/child. If you are selected and are able, please consider a donation to the PTO in support of making these opportunities accessible to all.
Sign up for vendor-led clubs (Chess, LEGO, and Pottery) will open in early April.
When considering which clubs to sign up for, please ensure you don’t sign your child up for two clubs on the same day. For example, if your child is already signed up for DC SCORES, Jr. SCORES, Guitar Club, or Girls on the Run, please do not also sign up for another club on the same day.
Afterschool clubs are only open to students enrolled in aftercare, unless otherwise indicated. Questions or suggestions? Reach out to the After-School Enrichment Committee: seatonptoenrichment@googlegroups.com
