Notes from Ms. Lee, After-School Program Specialist /
List of Current RCMS Extracurricular Activities
Mrs. E. Wolfe is known as our surprise basket lady because she surprises
the students every week with different activities. Through her efforts,
we started the crafts, knitting and crocheting clubs. The students
enjoyed the finger knitting and crocheting. Children may even surprise
their parents with a crocheted gift!
Due to the overwhelming growth of all the after-school clubs, we must
put out a sign up sheet for every club that is offered. Some sponsors
have their own sheet outside their room and some sign up sheets will
be posted on the bulletin board in the cafeteria. But every participant
must sign up. Space is limited in all the clubs.
If you have any questions or are looking for your child after school,
feel free to call me at 571-451-8207 or contact me via email
