Sports with Detective Mirante:  Are you ready to get active, have fun, and build new skills? Our After-School PE Power Hour is the perfect place to dive into a variety of exciting sports and activities. Designed for students of all skill levels, this program offers a safe and supportive environment where they can explore their athletic interests and develop teamwork, discipline, and confidence.

Cooking: Spend Monday afternoons in the kitchen learning to bake, cook and create on a budget. Enjoy the added benefit of sharing creations with friends. 

Make-n-Take: Arts & Crafts: Do you love to create? Leave each week with a newly created craft such as candles, rock painting or sewing/knitting. Keep it for yourself or gift to a friend!

Gardening: Be part of making the courtyards and flower beds beautiful on the Drury grounds. Join Mr. Cooke and Gavin (and Gardener Jen!) to explore the greenery of Drury. 

Dance Club: Love to dance? Sign up for this fun club to learn some basic moves and create your own dances. 

The Drury Performing Arts Center Fall Play: All are welcome to participate in the fall play. If you plan to be on stage, work behind the scenes, please sign up through our 21st Century program! 

Setting The Scene: Create the set for the fall play! As Scenic Designers we will collaborate with the director and production team members to plan and build backdrops, props, and any other visual elements that enhance the storytelling on stage for the fall play.  If you have always wanted to be a part of the fall show but don't want to be on stage - working on the set is a great way to be involved! 

Costume Design: Do you love fashion and want to help design the costumes for the fall play (and maybe some of your own fashions)? If yes, sign up for costume design! 

Apples to Apples! (Games): Join Ms. Mayes in playing Apples to Apples and other games in a fun, enrichment program which focuses on team building and fun!

Legos, Building and More!: Join this program to take part in LEGO challenges, and learn new, innovative ways to build. 

Role Playing Games (RPG): Have you ever watched a movie and said "If I was the hero I would have...."? Do you want to slay monsters and tell an epic story? Or do you just want to come and joke around while rolling dice to see who shoots an arrow into a ceiling? Whatever your answers are to these questions you have a place at the table during our After School RPG program. During this program you are given the opportunity to work collaboratively with your Game Master and other players to tell a story that matters, that deals with problems and overcomes them. Roll some dice, slay some monsters, tell a story (even if you roll a one).

Checkmate!: This chess program is for newcomers and those returning to the game. Come on Tuesdays to practice the game of chess and become a champion player. 

Magic: The Gathering: Ever wanted to learn how to play a trading card game? In this program, you can! Compete with your friends and classmates in Magic: The Gathering, a strategy game using a wide variety of interesting cards. No cards necessary, we'll provide them for you!  


Thursday Sports: Get active inside and outside the building! Sign up and play a variety of popular sports.
