Cherry Hill Public Schools – SACC
Did you attend an afterschool program in your youth? Tell us what you did after school usually.
- I did not attend an afterschool program in my youth. My days after school were mostly spent outside hanging out with my friends. We would either play on the equipment in the park across the street from house, ride bikes or play outside games.
When did you become an NJSACC board member?
- 11/01/2023
How were you introduced to NJSACC?
- My previous employer introduced me to NJSACC in 1998.
In your view, why is afterschool important?
- Afterschool is so important because it keeps children safe during out-of-school hours. This time give children time to learn new things, make friends and spend time enjoying being in a kid in a positive atmosphere.
In your view, why is NJSACC important?
- NJSACC promotes and advocates for the importance of before and after school programs. What we do is so important each and every day. No two days are alike.
