The After School Advantage:
After school programs keep kids safe & smart The Indian River School District and the Chil-dren’s Home of Jefferson County have teamed up to create a fun and exciting after school program that meets the needs and interests of the 6th, 7th & 8th grade students at the Indian River Middle School.

The programs and resources available through this initiative can help youth achieve social, emotional, physical and academic success while developing healthy lifestyles and behaviors.

Research has shown that without supervised, structured activities in the after-school hours, youth are at greater risk of be-ing victims of crime, or participating in juve-nile crime and risky behavior, such as alcohol and drug use.

The program is designed to provide students with a dynamic after school pro-gram, with an intellectually stimulating cur-riculum that will increase their awareness, self-reliance and fun.
