East Shore Leadership Academy in Port Huron has entered into a partnership with The Athletic Factory, a Port Huron non-profit that provides athletic opportunities for youth.
The partnership will provide after-school activities for the students at the kindergarten through 8th grade charter school. Students will be able to not only have after-school supervision, but will be able to learn or find a new interest.
Cliff Thomason, Executive Director of The Athletic Factory, said that the two organizations had that same vision for an activities program. The Athletic Factory was looking for an opportunity to do an after-school program to expand their reach into the community while East Shore was looking for an afterschool experience for its kids.
The partnership will offer students afterschool activities ranging from sports to arts and crafts to performing arts such as dance. They are also planning to offer a LEGO Robotics option as well as old-fashioned games.
