Bio:

Shelly began working for AFTER SCHOOL as a summer day camp counselor in the summer of 2008.  She graduated in 2008 from UW-Madison, with a B.A. in history and German.  In addition to working at summer day camp for three summers she also worked for AFTER SCHOOL in 2009, and gives tours regularly at the Wisconsin Veteran's Museum to local fourth graders.

Waubesa AFTER SCHOOL Club program meets in the commons where kids can choose from a number of activities including arts and crafts, building materials, board games and drama.   The group also uses the outdoor playground  including the blacktop, fields and, in the winter, the hill for sledding.  Waubesa AFTER SCHOOL is a choice-based program. We believe in offering many opportunities for kids to have fun and explore their interests.  Kid input is important too!  We encourage their suggestions for safe, appropriate activities.  We provide a welcoming atmosphere that supports friendships and builds social skills, daily homework time with adult help and outdoor play every day (weather permitting) for good health.  Scouting is offered at some sites based on child interest and availability of volunteers.  Many of our Dane County AFTER SCHOOL sites offer enrichment classes. These include World Language, art and science classes.  Click here to learn more.  Enrichment classes can be arranged at most AFTER SCHOOL sites if there is enough interest.  Email janderson@wisconsinyouthcompany.org to learn more.
