Program Proposal for After School Program
Program Proposal for After School Program
Pilot Program at Meridian Middle School
In Partnership with the City of Meridian Parks & Recreation Department
Program Overview
A recreation-based after school program at Meridian Middle School will serve
students in 6
th
through 8
th
grade. The program will be run in partnership
between our district, Meridian Middle School, and the City of Meridian through
the Parks and Recreation Department. The Recreation Superintendent will
oversee the program and meet with school district or MMS staff to coordinate
facility use.
The Recreation Superintendent met with me to develop a proposal for submittal
to the Parks and Recreation Director and eventually the City Council. I have
also met with Lt. John Overton and Officer Mike Lock, SRO, to discuss this type
of program on site at MMS. Currently, the Boys and Girls’ Club is available,
but very few MMS students participate there. We feel that there is a need to
provide recreational and academic opportunities on site at the school.
This proposed After School Program will serve multiple purposes. By partnering
with the City of Meridian and making needed resources available, the program
will have a direct impact that will
• Provide a fun and safe place for middle school students during after
school hours
• Provide positive interaction with caring adult role models
• Encourage and develop life skills, respect for others, and positive social
interaction
• Introduce and engage youth in positive, potential life-long recreational
pursuits
• Provide an academic focus with time to complete homework, read, and
receive assistance/tutoring
Indirectly, the implementation of the program is expected to
• Support an active learning environment in the school
• Provide a balanced lifestyle for youth participants
• Effectively increase health, wellness and fitness for youth
• Potentially decrease juvenile crime
Activities
The program activities will be planned on a monthly calendar and be theme-
based. Activities would include a variety of recreation options such as:
• Outdoor Skills and Environmental Education
• Fitness and Exercise
• Sports
• Field Games
• Dance and Music
