ACTIVITY <br />PROCRAM <br />REPORT <br />February ?8, 1480 <br />Mounds View Parks, Recreation b Forestry Deportment .Staff felt that a <br />need for an after -school activities program for elementary age children may <br />be existing. Therefore, a short survey was established and distributed to <br />the elementary schools including Pinewood, Rt•d flak, Sunnyside and Compassion <br />Christian schools. The survey was randomly di�;tributed to five students per <br />class and two classes per grades first through sixth. The survey was accom- <br />panied by a self addressed stamped envelope, of the approximately two hundred <br />surveys distributed, eighty-three were returned, thus providing for a very <br />adequate tool for program data composition. Please refer to the survey data <br />sheet for fluff—r reference. <br />Considering the feedback information of the returned surveys, it was <br />determined that an after -school program was definitely a need and an interest. <br />Furthermore, it was determined that a fun and recreational program was re- <br />quested rather than a competitive team program. The program content of the <br />After -School Activities Program was specifically designed with the input re- <br />ceived by the survey in mind. <br />It is the goal of the After -School Activities to provide a well-rounded <br />program of recreational activity opportunities for elementary age school children <br />during the after -school hours. Tile month of March was chosen because it seems <br />to be a interim month between Winter and Spring activities in which the weather <br />is unpredictable and basically blah. Also, it is during this month that tra- <br />ditionally both school and Recreation Departments fail to program activites. <br />Therefore, in an attempt to combat this blast mood, the program shall attempt <br />to perk the recreational interests of students and provide lots of activities <br />for lots of fun! <br />
