With severe weather in the forecast for our area this evening, please stay weather-aware and plan to pick up your members as early as you can safely do so.

As a reminder, if a tornado warning is active for our area, staff and members will be sheltering in place, and parents will not be able to pick up until the warning is lifted.

Our CEO, Mindy, and Board Chair Christian had a great discussion on Within Reason with Mike Matson about the start of the school year, how we're supporting children and families along with our great partners at USD 383, and what's ahead for Boys & Girls Club.

Thank you for having us, Mike!

As Manhattan public schools change their schedule, the Boys & Girls Club of Manhattan is being asked to do more, at the exact same time it has fewer resources to do it.

USD 383 and the Boys & Girls Club of Manhattan have enjoyed a strong partnership for many years, providing valuable before- and after-school opportunities for students throughout our district. This collaboration has allowed students to access quality programming in familiar school settings while supporting families with childcare and enrichment options.

As part of this ongoing partnership, USD 383 is working with the Boys & Girls Club to expand after-school academic support programs at seven elementary schools: Amanda Arnold, Marlatt, Oliver Brown, Lee, Theodore Roosevelt, Frank V. Bergman, and Ogden Elementary. Through district support, monthly fees for participating students at these schools will be reduced to $50 per month per student. Scholarship support provided through philanthropic contributions is available when completing the Boys & Girls Club online registration.

Boys & Girls Club after-school programs at Woodrow Wilson, Bluemont, Northview Elementary Schools and the Teen Center will continue to be supported through 21st Century Community Learning Center grants and will remain available to families at no cost.

These after-school programs provide students with additional academic support and enrichment opportunities that extend learning beyond the regular school day. The district will utilize at-risk funding to help support these services and reduce costs for families. This funding will not reduce or impact any existing district programs or services.

USD 383 and the Boys & Girls Club remain committed to working together to support student success and provide high-quality opportunities that meet the needs of our students and families.
