Enrichment Sessions at Evergreen
Out of the Ordinary

The enrichment sessions at Evergreen Christian are a truly unique and exciting aspect of the school. The balanced calendar allows for “flex weeks” during the school year--one-week breaks that occur about every 8 or 9 weeks. For at least two of the four flex weeks, Evergreen will schedule optional enrichment sessions that offer highly motivating experiences--like camp with an educational focus.

The variety of activities that can occur during an enrichment session is endless and can involve a range of multi-disciplinary topics. The goal is to give students out-of-the-ordinary experiences that they wouldn’t normally have at school. For example, students may participate in cleaning up a stream, designing and building a robot, or creating and painting a mural on a building. Depending on their age, they could go on an archeological dig or a snowshoeing excursion. They may learn about their community and their neighborhood by visiting local businesses, the fire and police departments, and nonprofit organizations. During an enrichment session, students are encouraged to explore what’s beyond the walls of their classroom.

Enrichment sessions, offered at a reasonable additional cost, are also opportunities for all Evergreen students to join together for team-building projects. They could create, produce and present a play, puppet show, or any other performing arts presentation. They could also participate in various projects that demonstrate the love of Christ through service to the community, such as beautifying the neighborhood by planting flowers and picking up trash.

Parents can be a big part of these special sessions. They can brainstorm ideas for enriching projects and excursions, help take care of the details, even participate in activities as their schedules permit. These one-week sessions will become a highlight for everyone involved.
