During a time when parents are not home, it allows students a time of fun and fitness. It also gives academic enrichment and a time for dedication to homework in a structured environment. Active PTA, PTO, or other active parenting group parent leaders, teachers, school staff parents get involved in education by supporting teachers, students, and staff.
