The early returns are in, and let’s just say that the CBE (Congregation Beth Elohim) Kids After School Center at PS 39 is an immediate success. The program, which offers a wide variety of instructional classes and recreational activities (everything from yoga and sewing to swimming and cooking) was expecting maybe 50 signups in its pilot phase this term. However, the response was “healthy,” to say the least, with 85 kids enrolled and surely more to come next term.

Advisory committee member Alex Marshall (yes, the same busy man who just published a book, noted in a previous post) says that the program will continue to grow and expand in the coming semesters, with even more cool class choices. He tells us that feedback has been overwhelmingly positive from both parents and students, and the committee will continue to keep a close eye on the program to keep it running smoothly.
