Before & After School

The Ripple Explorers Before- & After-School Enrichment Program is available free to all students! This program is funded by a 21st Century Community Learning Center Grant, which operates at only three Lee County schools (James Stephens International Academy, Manatee Elementary, and Fort Myers Middle Academy).

In the mornings, our Ripple Explorers enjoy art and Spark (a P.E. program) with our art teacher Ms. Hahn and PE teacher Coach Webber from 8:15 - 9:15. In the afternoons, students stay from 4:00-5:30 for homework help and project-based learning with Ms. Baumgardner and Mrs. Radvanksy.

Snack and transportation are provided for free to students who come in the afternoons! All FMMA students are eligible to participate in the program.
