“Lights On Afterschool”: More Than Just an Enrichment Program
The “Lights On Afterschool” program, organized by the Afterschool Alliance, is a nationwide initiative that emphasizes the importance of afterschool programs in children’s lives. While the program typically focuses on educational and recreational activities, it also serves as a platform for community engagement.
A Unique Collaboration in Borrego Springs
In a recent event, San Diego Sheriff’s Rural Deputies took the initiative to join the “Lights On Afterschool” program at Borrego Springs Elementary School. They didn’t just make an appearance; they actively participated by handing out school supplies to the students.
