ALABASTER – Children interested in everything from creating art to honing their dance skills will have a chance to do at multiple area schools, as the Alabaster City School System is soon launching an expanded offering of community enrichment classes.

Beginning on Sept. 6, students will have a chance to stay after school to participate in community enrichment classes offered by multiple area vendors. The school system has offered the classes for the past three years, and has seen participation grow each year, said ACS Students Services Coordinator Dorann Tanner.

“The response has been great,” Tanner said during an Aug. 25 interview. “We have expanded it this year to try to keep up with student interest.

“Our goal is to continue to expand community education, and maybe even add adult classes at some point,” Tanner added.

Through the community enrichment classes, area vendors are able to offer after-school courses covering a range of topics and activities. Fees for each class vary on a course-by-course basis, and cover the materials necessary for each class.

“It’s a convenience for the kids and the parents,” Tanner said. “Instead of parents having to get to the school to take their child to karate class, the child can just stay after school and take karate there.”

To register for the classes, visit Zchildtrack.com/parent1/ParentLogin.aspx?c=alabasterascp.

The classes will be offered at Meadow View Elementary School, Creek View Elementary School and Thompson Intermediate School on the following days and times. Contact information is included for each vendor.
