Join me, Kathleen Waffle, Horizon Charter Schools’ Family Educator, at one of our final interactive family workshops of the 2017-18 school year.

I call this series “The 5 Ps — Projects, Poetry, Pop-ups, Puzzles, and Puppets.” It’s one of our most popular workshop series because each participant will learn how to make fun projects that foster summer literacy, math sense, science savvy, and creativity. Complete instructions and patters will be provided.

The workshops take place in Elk Grove, El Dorado Hill and Roseville. Workshops are open to all Horizon Charter Schools’ families. Children are encouraged to attend with their parent(s).

These hands-on family workshops are designed to:
