After School Programs

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.

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.

If you have any questions regarding clubs and classes, please reach out to Hadassah Bird.
With questions regarding athletics, please contact
Tasia Lewis.

Clubs – Winter 2023

 

Dungeons & Dragons Club (with Mr Ryan)

A Halfling rogue skulks through the dungeon, warily looking for traps. An Elven ranger examines the dragon’s tracks. A wizard carefully considers how many fireballs to throw at the vampire (Hint: all of them). If your 5th-8th grader loves to imagine fantasy worlds and traveling adventurers, then the D&D club is for them! Dungeons and Dragons is a cooperative story-telling game that allows students to inhabit a character in a fantastical world. Students make choices, practice social skills, do quick math, and work together to tell a great story.
We hope you’ll join this fun new club with Mr Ryan from 3-6pm on Fridays. $40/class.
