BTB (Beyond The Bell)
BTB Beyond the Bell (formerly Y Connection) offers exciting activities and choice-based “electives” that empower our youth to follow their own path.* Offerings in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math), Athletics, Group Exercise, Culinary Arts, Dance and more ensure that participants are having fun while continuing to learn throughout the year. In addition to electives, participants will also have social, homework, recreation, and snack time on a daily basis.
