Now parents, this year I want you to do something different. I want you to ask your children what they want to do after school this year. It seems that we just figured out what they were doing for the summer, and now we are getting ready for school. Let The Santa Barbara Independent help you find just the right activity for your precious offspring. Whether it’s trying something new or honing a natural skill, do yourself a favor and ask your child what they want to do — they may surprise you. Here’s to a new school year!

Teens

AHA! (Attitude. Harmony. Achievement.)

After-school groups for teens teach social-emotional intelligence and build community across lines of clique, color, and socioeconomic status through an original curriculum that incorporates short learning segments, interactive discussion, council-circle sharing, team-building games, community service, and creative projects. Interested families should attend one of the fall enrollment meetings on Sept. 8, 15, 22, or 24 from 4-5pm at the AHA! Office. A mandatory orientation will be held Sat., Oct. 3, 10am-noon at Jefferson Hall.
