Lieder After-School Clubs

Lieder third-, fourth- and fifth-grade students participate in the Fit Girls after-school club on Oct. 7.

In order to provide a fun and free outlet for the Leopard students, the staff at Lieder ES launched after-school clubs for third- through fifth-grade students on Oct. 7.

The after-school clubs, which are held each Tuesday for an hour after school, served 222 students the first week.

“The after-school clubs were fantastic,” said principal Dr. Karen Stockton. “This has been a goal of ours to provide a service for the kids and their parents. Many of the parents work after school and it’s tough for them to get them involved. Our staff response was unbelievable.”

Twenty-nine Lieder staff members volunteered their time to get students plugged into various clubs, including Fit Girls, sports, Legos, knitting, science, art, games, computers and crafts.

“The teachers might have gotten more enjoyment out of it than the kids,” Stockton said. “The excitement and enthusiasm from our staff truly made it happen.”

Several students joined the knitting after-school club at Lieder.    

A total of 222 students signed up and participated in the launch of Lieder after-school clubs.
