The seniors in AP English Literature have been busy creating video projects in small groups. Each team chose a scene from Hamlet and acted it out, adding their own theme or style. Click below to view a couple of their creations including one inspired by the film Inception and another with a Harry Potter vibe!

A variety of enrichment programs are available for Preschool students through JA After School. Having dance, computer, basketball, tennis, TaeKwonDo, gymnastics, and drama offered on campus is a great benefit for parents and students, says Hope Burford, assistant director of After School. Drama Kids is a recent offering that is currently enrolling students.
“Our programs, offered by qualified vendors, give students a chance for enrichment while they are on campus. After pick-up, families can go straight home without another activity and have more family time because the student has already had his or her outside activity. So many parents have thanked us for this,” says Burford.
The opportunity to try new things is also a benefit to young learners. “These classes expose students to a variety of activities so they can see what they like and may want to pursue as they grow older,” says Burford. “Some of our students have, in later years, developed advanced skills, such as in dance or Taekwondo, after starting a program in Preschool.”
Programs available by grade level include the following:
The students will be collecting items until December 18!
