NEW COLLABORATION: 4-H comes to Fowler After-School Program

After-school participants now have the opportunity to join 4-H and complete projects during their after-school program when homework is finished. Students in grades K-6 can choose to take a Yoga-Fit class and go on awesome field trips: Columbia Park Zoo, Imagination Station, and even the Chicago Aquarium plus see Lake Michigan and the BIG CITY.
