SPECIAL PROGRAMS
Within the after-school program, we have partnered with local businesses and organizations to create special programming. In collaboration with the Waltham Philharmonic Orchestra, we started a music program at Chesterbrook in Fall 2016, which has now expanded to Dana Court, to bring free arts programs to the children. Healthy Waltham joins us some afternoons to spend time gardening and making healthy meals with the children, teaching them valuable skills and nutrition tips. At the end of October, we have a wicked time at our Halloween Party, hosted by the First Parish Church of Waltham! Our generous friends at the Jones Partnership Fund wave their magic wands to make sure this event is fully supported so that the ghouls and boos can have a great time!
