"I have my son in the after school program and it feels great because he is gaining self-confidence. I also like being in the after school program with him, this is even better because I get to spend time with him otherwise I would miss that. I get to see him learn and grow and I have learned some of the teaching skills from the staff that help me teach and communicate better with him in a more positive way. I was able to come in and help coach the flag football team. I was able to help other kids as well as help my own son."

"On of my favorite things about the afterschool program is how they not only keep me in the loop about what my child's homework is, and how he is doing in class, but the biggest thing I have noticed in my son, is the change in his behavior. They are really teaching him how to be more respectful in the school day."

 “The program helps my son better in school by making sure his homework is complete and helping him solve issues he faces everyday. The best part of the program is the tutors. They care for the students and their academics. My son has a better attitude because of the program. Instead of getting upset and giving up, he is more willing to talk it out”

"I am involved with the Afterschool Program.  I like to check in daily with my child’s after school teacher. She is very engaged in the after school program and I feel like it helps re-enforce what the school day is already doing. I really like the after-school program because they have more activities to do than regular school. My daughter enjoys her classes a lot!"

- Mr. Freitas
Parent at Brookfield Elementary School
Lions Roar Afterschool Program

"I check in with my kid’s afterschool tutors everyday and with the program coordinator. I am in constant communication with the after-school program staff. I volunteer my time when I can, for special events, I don’t show up much to them but I do help prep for them when I can. I donate to program regularly. I, of course know that me being involved makes a huge difference. I’m nosey...I am the type of parent who wants to be involved!  The after-school program has actually helped me and my children. I am a bit more involved with the after-school program than the school day, because they make me feel welcome.  I know that  my kids are getting everything that they need before, during and most important after-school, bottom line!"

“The Afterschool Program has really helped my son finish his homework, and I believe they are providing the skills, tools needed to continue to be academically successful.”

“I’m a parent volunteer in the after school program. I help with whatever  is needed; from events to cheerleading coaching and even at parent conferences.  Being involved in the after school program helps me be more knowledgeable of my child’s day time activities. Yes, I pay attention to what my daughter is doing, I get to see hands first to what is going on.”

- Mrs. Tasha G.
Parent at Sobrante Park Elemenatry

"My daughter seems to be more engaged with the after-school program instuctors than with the school day teachers.  They are actually able to keep her attention; she never wants to leave, especially on Fridays. They always let me know what’s going on with my daughter, in the after-school and the school day. I know my daughter is in good hands.
