Active Afterschool Programs: February Round Up
Unfortunately for our blog posts there aren’t a lot of photographs from our February Active Afterschool Programs. The reason for this is that it is nearly impossible to stop playing dodge ball to take a good photo (without being hit, anyway). This month we played some very active games in Manor, Arcola and Carlyle – everyone had a blast. These afterschool programs are made possible by funding from South East Connections.
