A Beacon School open house is slated for 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 1, at Julius Sprauve Elementary School on St. John.
The purpose of the series of open houses is to "showcase the work products" that come out of the program, according to Beacon Executive Director Valerie George. Arts, crafts, demonstrations and written works will be showcased at each of five open houses to be held between March and May.
Beacons provide free after-school learning center opportunities for middle- and low-income children and families. Located in public school facilities, the Beacons provide accessible after-school learning opportunities for adults and youths. They are staffed by volunteers from the community.
"We have a GED (general equivalency diploma) program," George said, as well as classes such as English as a second language.
