EverAfter: Evergreen's After School Care Program

Providing holistic care and enrichment for ECCS students

You’re going to love this program! Over 2/3 of our student body is registered in EverAfter. In our second year, we were proud to be recognized in the December issue of WNC Parent magazine under the Best After-School Programs. EverAfter will be offering organized athletics as a new addition to the program. These teams will be competing against area schools (ArtsSpace Charter, Rainbow Mountain, and Francine Delaney School) in a healthy competitive setting.
		Tryouts will be held, based on ability and sportsmanship, to determine who will be on each team. 7th and 8th grades are allowed to participate, but everyone is encouraged to watch and show their support. Fall– Co-ed Flag Football Winter– Boys and Girls’ Basketball Spring– Boys and Girls’ Soccer
This nine-week season will run through EverAfter, yet will not have the same fee as other clubs. Instead of $90 for nine weeks, this will only cost $45 for nine weeks (plus $20 registration fee). This will include shirts, coaches and the wonderful care that EverAfter provides. Participants will have to use some personal equipment. With all of the fabulous clubs, quality counselors, and team sports, we are certain that your child/ren will have a great experience in EverAfter Program. We hope you make use of all we have to offer!
