Extended Day Program Opens

The Extended Day program at Mount Gallitzin Academy offers an informal, relaxing and enriching time for students after their busy school day. Activities are age-appropriate. Students are supervised by two adults.

The program's short-term goals include providing a familiar, safe and comfortable environment for students when their parents cannot be with them due to work or other obligations. Long-term goals include the presentation of educational, recreational and social programs such as:

· Intergenerational program at Villa St. Joseph
· Mass each week in the chapel
· Stations of the Cross
· Meet and Greet
· Show and Tell
· Wetlands Presentation
· Drum Circle
· American Heart Association's First Aid Program.

Students are encouraged to socialize with classmates while making use of indoor and outdoor facilities. In the Media Center, older students have access to books, computers, and the Internet on a supervisory basis. The last hour of each extended day is designed for quiet time for doing homework or reading. To keep parents informed about activities and upcoming events, the staff communicates with them through a monthly calendar.

The program is open to all Academy students. For more specific information, or if you or a family member has a special skill, talent or hobby to share with the students during the Extended Day program, please contact Cheryl at 724-869-2505
