Lefler Community Learning Center
After School Clubs
CLC After School Clubs are an extended school program at Lefler Middle School, created to improve student learning and development through academic support, physical fitness, character development, and enrichment activities. Any Lefler student may enroll in the CLC program. Participants engage in daily academic support and supervised homework time and then select from multiple experiential learning opportunities throughout the week.Academics
Homework Zones and academic based clubs are available each day for students to participate in, as well as receive homework help. Clubs change as school endorsed academic support and resources become available. The YMCA program's academic components are integrated with Lefler Middle School's daily curriculum. We also have a close working relationship with the Lefler teachers to help provide individualized support for each of our students. Our expected outcome is that our students increase their academic achievement and learning. Academic support is offered in both our before and after school program.
Fitness
Participants are provided opportunities to explore various recreational sports (soccer, basketball, running, volleyball, etc.), and taught healthy lifestyles, including nutrition and fitness education. Research indicates that healthy kids have higher self-esteem, perform better academically, and are less likely to experiment with drugs and alcohol. Our expected outcome is that our students will lead healthy, happy lives.
Character Development
YMCA core values - Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility - are taught with the expectation that all of our children be positive and contributing citizens. The Y program has also adopted the School Rules of "BE SAFE, BE RESPECTFUL, and BE RESPONSIBLE."
Enrichment Activities
Participants are offered opportunities to experience a full range of activities such as music, theatre, creative thinking, language, science, etc. We believe that we should not set limits on an individual's imagination and will continue to seek opportunities to help broaden our youth's perspective on their own potential. Our expected outcome is that participants will be open to try new things and experience themselves achieving success in life.
Eligibility
Students enrolled at Lefler Middle School, who have completed the enrollment paperwork, are eligible to participate.
