Where?
Mentone Elementary, Franklin Elementary, Lugonia Elementary, Mission Elementary, and Victoria Elementary (Your child will participate at the school they attend.)
*TK/K students may be eligible for the Boys & Girls Club in lieu of this opportunity if they attend AM or Earlybird TK/K, class. Additionally, PM or Latebird TK/K students may also have access to before-school opportunities through the Boys & Girls Club.
