The THINKTOGETHER After School Program at Mountain Shadows Middle School runs everyday that school is in session from school dismissal until 6pm. THINKTogether has been a part of Mountain Shadows since 2011. We are currently funded for an average daily attendance of 54 students with a full-time Site Coordinator and 3 part time staff.
The THINKTogether program is considered to be an extension of the school day with a goal of expanding upon the learning conducted during the school day. We run two programs through THINKTogether, our normal THINKTogether program and our THINKTogether Sports program. Both programs consist of a daily snack, a minimum of one hour homework assistance, minimum one hour physical activity, as well as implemented academic enrichment activities that align with the school day teachings. Students also participate as student leaders, plan events, and create their own clubs such as Folkloric Dance and Video Game design, participate in community service learning projects and peer mentors. Our sports program consists of fall sports (flag football, volleyball, and cheer), winter girls and boys basketball, cheer, and spring boys and girls soccer. Daily schedules vary but are typically set up as follows:
