Beacon

By George Harris

Did you ever wonder what goes on in the school once you leave? A lot is the answer. After 37 and ½, the afterschool program BEACON begins. Beacon starts up when everyone leaves. Beacon is Dreyfus’ premier school program. It starts at 2:00 and ends at 4:30. Miss Ebanks runs Beacon. She doesn’t do it alone; she has coaches and teachers who help her. Beacon attracts so many students because it’s a fun and exciting program. Some programs are gym time, art, computers, nail salon and dance. There are just too many things to list. I love these activities! I attend beacon very often. There are educational and fun subjects that are put in your schedule. Your schedule depends on your last name and sometimes age. If you are not part of Beacon, maybe next year you should be.
