Winter Outdoor Running
Get Moving

Calling all intermediate-to-advanced running enthusiasts! Embrace the fresh winter air and build fitness in this fun and challenging running program. We will move throughout the entire class with a combination of running and proper dynamic and static stretches, as well as plyometrics and strength circuits to stay strong. Independent running will be encouraged throughout the week to stay fit and on track to meet our goal of running a 4K at the end of the program. Please note: This program is held entirely outdoors and will be canceled only in the case of icy or other unsafe weather conditions. Students must arrive dressed for the cold weather and with proper footwear. Notifications of cancelations will be emailed the evening before.

10 Steps to Applying Early to College
High School & College Planning

Are there pros and cons to applying Early Decision, Early Action, or Restricted Early Action? And what’s the difference between all the options? Spring is the perfect time to start planning to meet the November 1, 2023 deadline. This workshop offers concrete steps including: finalizing college lists, visiting (or revisiting) top choice colleges, finishing the personal statement, and advice for completing the supplemental essays. Preparing in the spring and summer will make applying early a lot less stressful. Open to families of juniors.

Sand Casting with Molten Metal
Arts & Crafts

If you've ever wondered how some small objects can contain so many fine details, it’s often because they have been cast in a mold. In this class, using Delft clay and kinetic sand as our casting mediums, you will create a series of unique molds, and then fill them with molten bronze or pewter. To make your molds, you will learn how to take impressions of existing objects, and also how to carve into the medium and add details. Some of the things we might cast include detailed pendants, coins, medallions, or anything from your imagination.

SAT Math Review
High School & College Planning

For Arlington residents only Prepare for the math section of the SAT in these courses timed for the March 11 and May 6 exams (both held at AHS). Become familiar with the types of questions and effective methods to handle them through practice tests. Individual analysis of these test results will reveal where improvement is needed for each student, and a post-test will be completed to measure progress. Please note: To each class, please bring a College Board ID and password, a calculator, and the 2020 version of the official study guide to the SAT (available at The Book Rack at a discount).

Babysitting Basics
Life Skills

This program is designed to better prepare you to become a capable, caring, and responsible babysitter. Understand the responsibilities and skills—including basic first aid and what to do in an emergency—and develop confidence in handling situations you may encounter when caring for young children. Upon completion, your services will be in high demand in the neighborhood! Please note: the printed schedule for this class has changed. It will now run in March as listed.
