After School and Enrichment

Hours 2:30 pm - 6:00 pm (school days)

So much fun is going on!

HPF shouts out supporters unless they specify if/how they want to be recognized publicly. Some prefer to remain anonymous and we respect their preferences.

Thank you Raye for your support. Thank you so much South Carolina Department of Education for granting a $16,000 innovation grant towards our $85,523 afterschool budget! We LOVE our friends, families, and supporters!

After school homework help and tutoring is from 2:30 pm to 4:00 pm. Our angels take out agendas, complete their homework, and get additional instruction in concepts they are learning. They also receive additional tutoring in the weakest link areas shown in their Wednesday folders.

Our angels receive computerized tutoring daily from 4:00 pm until 4:30 pm with support of reputable online games such as blooket, kahoot, etc. to strengthen knowledge at their readiness levels.

Enrichment starts after our angels have finished dinner. Enrichment is from 4:30 pm until 5:45 pm. Enrichment includes fun and specialized skill training such as:

Piano Lessons
Beauty Club
Art & Design
Outdoor Athletics
Gaming

We would love to add gardening to the list with sponsorship and guidance from our local community.
