What’s happening at Just One after school programs in October?
Were diving into Halloween-themed projects!
October 1st to 18th Monday to Friday, 3 pm to 6 pm, kids will have a blast while getting to know our staff, interns, and community supporters. These activities will lead up to our Annual Youth-Run Haunted House!
Each day, the kids will have countless opportunities to dive into a variety of exciting Halloween-themed projects. From spooky crafts to haunted house decorations, there will be no shortage of activities to spark their creativity. With the guidance of our caring staff and volunteers, they’ll be encouraged to explore their ideas and bring their unique visions to life. Our team is dedicated to supporting and inspiring the kids every step of the way, ensuring they feel empowered to create something truly special while having a blast.
Due to space limitations, we can only accommodate a certain number of kids in our facility. We understand that younger ones in the neighborhood get excited about our projects, and while we wish we could welcome them all, our capacity is limited. However, we promise to do our best to include them in outdoor activities or local field trips when possible. Though we might have to gently let the little ones under 10 know that, at this time, we aren’t able to accommodate their awesome (yet shorter) attention spans, we really wish we could! We sincerely appreciate the understanding and support from all our Just One members.
After the 18th:
Between October 21st and 24th, the four days leading up to our Annual Haunted House, we’ll be working with youth ages 13 and older to set up the haunted house. During this time, the facility will be transformed into a spooky maze, complete with tarps and props. Due to the setup, our space will be even more limited, restricting us to a smaller group during this phase. But don’t worry!
October 25th and 26th:
All kids ages 10 and older who participated earlier will rejoin us to help with final preparations between 3pm to 6pm to practice for the big event to start at 6pm.
On October 25th and 26th, from 6 pm to 9 pm, youth will open the doors to our haunted house to the public, showcasing all the amazing work the kids have done.
Recap:
- October 1st to 18th: For youth ages 10 and older
- October 21st to 24th: For youth ages 13 and older
- October 25th to 26th: Haunted House open to the public from 6 pm to 9 pm
How Our After-School Program Works
If you already have a parent account and have added your youth, you’re all set to go! There’s nothing more you need to do. However, if you haven’t made a parent account yet, please take a moment to create one and be sure to add each youth who plans on participating in the program. This ensures we have all the necessary information and can provide a smooth check-in process for your child. We are a walk-in program, so feel free to have your child join us when it fits their schedule!
