Fine Arts Elementary Spring After-School Opportunities:
SPORTS CLUB
ULTIMATE BALL CLUB
Get ready for high-energy fun after school! Ultimate Ball Club brings the same excitement, games, and snacks you love from summer camps and PE into an after-school club. Each week, students will jump into action with favorites like Dodgeball, Nuke ’Em, Gagaball, Wiffleball, and tons of other fast-paced games.
