After School Programs and Athletics
Resources
ESN offers after school programs that serve as an extension of the school’s mission. We endeavor to offer a variety of activities that align with the needs and interests of our diverse student population while continuing our dedication to nurturing the joy of learning and the spirit of discovery in each student.
Each activity will have its own fees and scheduling. Please watch the ESN Weekly Blast for registration information. Sign up at the bottom of this page.
We would like all students who are interested to be able to participate in our after school programs. If the cost of an activity is prohibitive for your family, please contact the office for discussion about financial aid.

CREATIVITY CLUB with Molly’s Music
Learn to look at the world in a unique way, and practice daily habits that spark the creative muscle! Not solely an art class or a writing class, this club will teach students the daily habits that creators use to think differently. In Creativity Club, we’ll do activities such as making an art project with an object you would normally throw away, finding an object you pass by each day without noticing and writing a poem about it, and decorating and keeping an "idea" notebook to draw inspiration from. Grades 1-4. $125/student.
Meets from 4-5 p.m. on the following Thursdays:
April 25
May 2, 9, 16

These classes are for actors of all experience levels (we love working with new actors!), as well as an opportunity for kids who are interested in theater but not sure if they are ready to perform publicly (we love developing stage managers, props masters, and costume designers, as well as actors!).
