Free program
Dear Editor:
Some of the best things in life are free. I believe this adage to be true with the Aftershock Program that begins on Monday, August 30th, in the Middle School.
“What is Aftershock?” you ask. It is two and one half hours of good free things for all students in grades 6, 7 and 8. Aftershock is a free snack. Aftershock is over one hour homework time with free help. Aftershock is one hour of a student originated hands-on activity. Aftershock is a free ride on a school bus back to your community (Patriot, East Enterprise and Pleasant). Aftershock is free support for students to be better students. Aftershock is free every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 3 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. following the regular school day calendar.
What is your opinion? Are some of the best things in life free? Sign up for Aftershock and see for yourself.
Applications are available at the YMCA or your school. Mark your calendars. Give Aftershock a chance for you to be a prepared student. Let Aftershock help you get better grades. Let Aftershock be a part of your life . . . what have you got to lose? Aftershock is free. Remember, in my opinion, some things in life are free.
