What We Do . . .
The
San Jose After School Program has become a second home to many of our
children. The staff has become their role model, teacher, joke-teller,
family care provider, nurse, friend, and sense of familiarity. The
program consists but not limited to academics, recreation, cultural and
environmental awareness, and social enrichment. With an enrollment of
one hundred students, the children have a chance to interact with
students of different cultures, ages, and personalities. We have
developed different clubs to enhance the program such as Art Club,
Computer Club, Culture Club, Dance Club and the Literacy Box. We also
have structured sports tournaments for basketball, hockey, and flag
football. Our responsibility is to teach them so they can have
opportunities for a better future and pave their own road.
Slonaker
Academy has had a great year. With Many new youth enrolled this year we
have made many new improvements to better the services we offer to the
youth. This year we have enjoyed Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas,
Valentines, Cinco De Mayo, and our End of the Year Parties. We have
offered Art, Folklorico, organized recreation, Salsa, and Drum
Workshops to name a few of the workshopsto enrich our youths'
experience. We have learned to ally ourselves with the faculty to
better the experience and learning at Slonaker. We look forward to next
year with all it's possibilities as we mold the future.
