Boys & Girls Club taking sign-ups for 2012-13 school year

The countdown is on for the start of the 2012-13 school year and the Lake Tahoe Boys & Girls Club is busy making plans for after school programs.

There are programs for youth grades K-12. The club operates from two sites: the main site is located at 1100 Lyons Ave. (previously the Al Tahoe Elementary School), and at Bijou Community School.

After school programs are $35 for the whole school year. Boys & Girls Club of Lake Tahoe offers homework assistance and enrichment activities Monday-Friday throughout the school year.

In order to join and sign up for the program parents are required to attend an orientation prior to their child attending. The orientations are each Monday from 5:30-6pm at the main site. Orientations will also be available at Bijou beginning Aug.27, 5:30-6pm.
