The Times - Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley

DAYTON - Winter quarter for the Dayton School District’s After School Program starts Jan. 10, and ends March 9. Classes for third, fourth, fifth and sixth graders take place every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at various locations.

Tuesday activities include Intro to Crocheting, Model Airplanes, Cooking/Nutrition, and Disaster Preparation.

Disaster preparedness presentations will be held for all students in the program, to help them to understand the importance of basic first aid. Students will also explore possible natural disasters in the local area.

Wednesday classes include Girl Empowerment, Earth-Space Collage, Ocean Collage, and Photo Collage.

The YWCA Girls Power program is for girls in grades four and five, and is intended help build self-confidence, competence and pride. Snacks, activities, a field trip and a party are some of the reasons girls will be attracted to the program.

Kids in the Kitchen and Community Service are two of the program offerings for Thursdays.
