Hello Heard Park friends and family!

The final school bell has rung, the classrooms are quiet, and now it’s time for summer fun at Heard Park! Before Summer Day Camp officially begins, let’s take a look back at some of the fun moments, smiling faces, and memories made during our last few days of afterschool.

From laughter in the halls to fun with friends, we ended the school year making memories we’ll never forget. Now we’re getting ready for a summer full of exciting activities, games, adventures, creativity, and unforgettable moments.

Summer Day Camp starts now, and we are ready for the fun ahead!

Afterschool Rewind at Heard Park

The Heard Park Afterschool crew, with staff, enjoyed a fun field trip on the Walker Park trail with Allison and Heather. They walked the trail, learned fun facts about trees and nature, and played bingo for prizes along the way.

A great day full of laughter, learning, and memories.

Last Thursday, our Heard Park after-schoolers enjoyed a sweet adventure! 🍪✨

We visited Great American Cookies and Marble Slab Creamery Athens, GA, where the kids had a blast decorating their own cookies and enjoying some delicious treats.

Smiles, sprinkles, and lots of fun made it a day to remember! 💕
