Other After School Programs

My Chicago
The My Chicago program, coordinated by the Chicago Historical Society, provides teachers and students in grades 1 through 6 with an opportunity to explore Chicago's history through specific activities and events. The pilot program will result in a guided activity lesson book for every elementary school in the district which will be available in Fall 2003. In addition, it will integrate museum resources and incorporate field trips into the after school curriculum. The program serves approximately 30 students per site and is currently implemented at: Beethoven, Gillespie, Lafayette, National Teacher's Academy and Penn elementary schools.
