Three local schools are currently host sites for after-school programs under a federal grant titled 21st Century Community Learning Centers. The goals of the grant are to provide academic support and enrichment beyond the normal school day. Vacation sessions and a four week summer session are also planned. The Hartland Consolidated School, Etna Dixmont School, and the Sebasticook Valley Middle School offer programs to Pre-Kindergarten to grade 12 students in RSU 19. A new variety of offerings has also opened recently for Corinna Elementary Students. To date, over 700 individual students have participated in programs as varied as blacksmithing and ballet to robotics and fly tying. Each session begins with attendance and a snack followed by time for homework help and academic assistance. The final hour each day is devoted to the enrichment component. For more information about the programs being offered, contact Jim Dyer at 938-5191.
