BUGS After-School Program

The BUGS After-School Program services 48 2nd - 5th graders from Commodore John Rodgers Elementary School. We offer four hands-on components - Creative Arts, Cooking, Gardening, and STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Math). Our focus is to improve the academic and social skills of our students and their attendance at school. BUGS is offered by Living Classrooms Foundation, an educational non-profit that uses experiential education, where kids get a to “Learn By Doing.”

A Visit to Ampersea Restaurant & Life Skill Building Workshops at BUGS!

One of our partnerships here at BUGS, is with Ampersea (formerly Waterfront Kitchen) restaurant. Every few weeks, one of our rotating component groups take a nice walk right down Caroline street with resident Cooking Teacher Nicola Norman to see how Ampersea links farm to fork in hands on activities.

Our BUGS youth always enjoy these mini field trips, and getting to just be themselves while exploring real world possibilities - like culinary arts as a career!

Chef Nelson from Ampersea treated our 2nd - 3rd grade girl group the butterflies to a fine dining experience featuring housemade crab cakes with fries (topped with sprouts from the BUGS greenhouse!) with refreshment on the side.

Learning through doing at the BUGS After School Program!
