AFTER SCHOOL
 The grant allows the school to add programs to the afterschool program but does not permit any of the funds to be used during the school day or for facilities maintenance etc. InI nspiring Staff…Energizing Learning…Sustaining Quality Here’s what’s happening: · TUTORING · VIOLIN will now be offered every Tuesday and Thursday, beginning on January 10th. · EXPLORATIONS IN ART continues on Mondays. · LEGOS Robotics will be continuing, targeting students in grades 4-8. Dates for the afterschool sessions have not yet been established but enrollment will soon be opening for 20 students on a first come first served basis. Keep-in-mind these activities are all part of the ‘after school’ program; although the district requests a fee for these services the fee can be waived or you may pay a lesser amount. If you have any questions or ideas for this program please contact Mrs. Thompson or Mrs. Love through the school office or at lthompson@morristowneld75.org or mlove@morristowneld75.org .

Brenda has the special ability to work with donated items to produce fine arts creations. The After School Program still has some financial challenges. After being open through grants and donations since 1989, the current source of support includes the 21st CCLC grant, donations to the After School Gift Fund and the Extra Curricular Tax Credit Fund. The challenge for the school is coming up with the cost of keeping the building open. EXTRA SPECIAL CREDIT In 1997 the State Legislature passed a bill that allows an individual to deduct as a credit, fees paid to schools for extracurricular activities. Any individual may donate up to $200 (a couple filing jointly may donate up to $400.00) to be paid as an extracurricular fee for the purpose of taking the tax credit. It is a transfer of revenue from the Department of Revenue to the local schools.

The Phoenix Lodge #2 Knights of Pythias continue to fund the milk program in the after school program. Kids Kaffe from the West Side Food Bank can no longer provide snacks for children in the after school program. Parent and community donations of sealed snacks would be greatly appreciated. Individually packaged snacks would be even better.
