The Peter Kirk PTSA is excited to provide engaging after school activities located right at Kirk as soon as the school day ends! We partner with local organizations as well as Peter Kirk parents to offer opportunities for students to explore various arts, languages, STEM, sports, and more through these programs. If you have questions about the after school programs or are interested in running a parent-led class, please don't hesitate to reach out to the Kirk PTSA enrichment chairs: afterschool@PeterKirkPTSA.org.
Quick Facts:
- Sessions are typically around 10 weeks.
- A parent chaperone is required for each class to ensure there are two adults present at
all times and that students are where they are supposed to be and safe.
- Chaperones must be PTSA members and approved LWSD volunteers.
- Tuition is free for ONE student of each chaperone. If more than one adult volunteers to chaperone for a class, the waived tuition will be offered to the first person to register.

No ice. No skating. Ball hockey is similar to ice hockey, but players wear tennis shoes and play on a hard surface using a ball instead of a puck. It is a super-fun, fast-paced, team-oriented sport that emphasizes strategy, speed, and agility. Your student will have a blast!
No experience required! In fact, almost all the kids that start playing ball hockey with us have never played before. Through exciting games & challenges and friendly scrimmages, players develop confidence, coordination, and teamwork skills. Our experienced coaches will guide them every step of the way, starting with basic hockey fundamentals like stickhandling, passing, shooting, and positioning. We will make sure they learn the game of hockey the right way, in a supportive and fun environment.
Every student goes home with our McVander Hockey t-shirt and wristband.
