The Determination Center

THE DETERMINATION CENTER BUSTLES WITH ACTIVITY MONDAY-FRIDAY FROM 2:00-8:00 PM...

HOMEWORK HELP:

Mrs. Graham insists that the kids complete their homework prior to engaging in any extracurricular activities. Upon arrival, the kids head to a designated classroom & get to work. When questions arise, staff members or volunteers are present to assist. 

MENTORING:

Everyone at the Center has a stake in this--Mrs. Graham, the staff, volunteers, and even the kids. There are always opportunities to listen, give advice, and serve as role models when social or academic issues arise.

COMPUTER LAB:

Here you'll find a handful of kids working on school projects or playing computer games.

LIBRARY:

A quiet room for reading or working on small-group projects--this is also a cozy space for guest presentations to ~8-10 students.

MUSIC:  

Interested students sing and learn the basics of music production (weekly). 

DRAMA:

On Tuesdays throughout the academic year, a core group of kids rehearse for a fun Determination Center (original) play.

BASKETBALL:

Upstairs in the gym, whenever there's some energy to burn--and a staff member to supervise.

KARATE:

Offered weekly, free of charge: martial arts fundamentals.

GAMES/FREE PLAY:

Once all academic work has been completed!
