About Wonderful Wednesdays... 
Wonderful Wednesdays is a faith-based after school program that promotes a safe and fun environment for K-5th grade students bused to Messiah after school until 5:30! 

This year we're excited to offer 3 different activity groups for all our elementary kiddos:

• Cooking & More! ‍Each week kids will get hands-on experience learning a fun, yummy recipe or wild kitchen-y experiment.
• Gym! We'll be getting active in the gym (and outside, weather permitting!) and learn some new games as well as play some great classics.
• Crafty Crafts (and Giggly Games)!‍ Kids will get to get in touch with their creativity as they break out the markers, scissors and more to add to your at-home collection.

 Things to Know:

• The registration cost of $5 is per child for the whole session. It is not $5/week. This minimal charge helps supply snacks and other supplies for our program.
• When registering your child, please select just one activity group. Your child will participate in this group for the duration of the session. Once the next session opens, you can register them for a different activity.
• Activity Groups are capacity limited. These are filled on a first-come, first-serve basis and may be expanded as we're able.
• A simple snack will be provided. Please do not pack a snack for your child unless they have any dietary restrictions. 
• When registering you will be asked to indicate a back-up activity group so we can change assignments if needed based on various factors (behaviors, group size, etc) 
• Here is our pickup process: 
  • Enter through the main entrance (Journeys entrance). Walk straight through to the hallway directly in front of you. A volunteer will check your ID. At 5:30 you will be allowed to go pick up your child at their classroom.
• Our volunteers all have up-to-date background checks
