Occasionally visiting artists, such as chamber players, jazz musicians, parents and dramatists join assembly to perform for the school.</p> <p>After assembly, students in grades 2-5 have the opportunity participate in enrichment activities. These sessions, which draw from the expertise and interests of our talented faculty, run for 4-6 weeks and allow students to investigate an area of interest. Recent activities include:</p> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" height="227" width="306"> <tbody><tr> <td width="143">Shakespearean Drama</td> <td width="100">Rock Band</td> </tr> <tr> <td width="143">Japanese Culture</td> <td width="100">Knitting</td> </tr> <tr> <td width="143">Yoga</td> <td width="100">Jewelry-Making</td> </tr> <tr> <td width="143">Golf</td> <td width="100">Swimming</td> </tr> <tr> <td width="143">Choir</td> <td width="100">Miniatures</td> </tr> <tr> <td width="143">Cooking and Baking</td> <td width="100">Mask-Making</td> </tr> <tr> <td width="143">Nursery Helpers</td> <td width="100">Field Games</td> </tr> </tbody></table>Fri, 9 Nov 2012 19:33:00 GMThttp://www.longridgeschool.org/extracurricular#item621930<div><span style="color: #808080;"></span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Current After-School Programs&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><strong>Mondays:<span style="color: #808080;"> 3:15-4:30 pm</span></strong></div><div><div><span style="color: #808080;">Ceramics and Art</span>&nbsp;<span style="color: #808080;"></span></div><div><span style="color: #808080;">Introduction to Drums&nbsp;</span><span style="color: #808080;"></span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><strong>Tuesdays:</strong><span style="color: #808080;">&nbsp;<strong> 3:15-4:30 pm</strong></span></div></div><div><div><span style="color: #808080;">After-School Sports</span><span style="color: #808080;"><br /></span></div><div>&nbsp;</div></div><div><strong>Wednesdays:</strong>&nbsp;<strong><span style="color: #808080;">3:15-4:30 pm</span></strong></div><div><div><span style="color: #808080;">Tang Soo Do</span>&nbsp;<span style="color: #808080;"></span></div><div><span style="color: #808080;"></span><span style="color: #808080;">Martial Arts<br /></span></div><div>&nbsp;</div></div><div><strong>Thursdays:</strong><span style="color: #808080;">&nbsp;<strong> 3:15-4:30 pm</strong></span> <br /><div><span style="color: #808080;">After-School Sports</span><span style="color: #808080;"></span></div><div>&nbsp;</div></div><div><div><strong>Fridays:&nbsp;</strong></div><div><span style="color: #808080;">Chess Club</span><span style="color: #808080;"> (Grades 1-5)</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="color: #808080;"><strong></strong></span></div><span style="color: #808080;"></span><div><span style="color: #808080;">Theater </span><span style="color: #808080;">with</span><span style="color: #808080;"> Lenka&nbsp;<strong></strong></span></div><div>&nbsp;</div></div>Mon, 30 Apr 2012 15:43:00 GMT
