After School
Curry Public Library’s ASCEND program for middle schoolers has activities after school at Gold Beach JR/SR High School. The program begins when class is dismissed at the end of the day and runs until 5 pm on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday afternoons. All middle school students are welcome to participate and will receive snacks, academic support, Curry Public Library cards, and more.
On Wednesday afternoons from 3:30pm-5pm, ASCEND will hold special activities in the Curry Public Library meeting hall open to all 6th-8th graders in the community. Participating 6th graders from Riley Creek School can walk with ASCEND staff to the library after school to attend these Wednesday programs. Special Wednesday enrichment activities will include everything from games to art projects, community volunteer projects, and more.
Keep an eye out for special family programs like outdoor movie nights, a hot sauce challenge, game nights, a gingerbread competition, and more!
Registration forms are required for all ASCEND participants and are available in the ASCEND classrooms at Riley Creek School and Gold Beach JR/SR High School, or at Curry Public Library. If you have any questions, please email us at ascend@cplib.net or call (541) 357-3005
