What is the importance of afterschool programs?

After-School programs keep kids safe, boost student success, help parents keep their jobs, and improve at home and classroom behavior. Students achieve more, productivity goes up and risky behaviors go down.

Being a participant in these programs help to ensure educational growth, thereby increasing the chances of graduation and post-secondary success.

P.O.W.E.R offers students guidance and mentoring as they take steps to high school and post-secondary education. Students learn how to investigate careers, technical schools and college majors.

Pottstown's P.O.W.E.R after-school and summer program is FREE for all Pottstown Middle School students. P.O.W.E.R offers students hands-on learning and college readiness guidance. This program is offered at the end of the school day until 5:00 p.m. for 30 weeks during the school year and 4 weeks in the summer.  See the P.O.W.E.R flyer attached below for more information and the opportunities available. FREE busing is offered to students of the Pottstown Middle School. 

Students in P.O.W.E.R after school and summer program will be offered a FREE after school snack or summer lunch.

Don't miss this chance to give your child a head start on their educational journey. The P.O.W.E.R program at Pottstown Middle School is more than just an after-school program – it's an investment in your child's future success.
