Mohawk Trails ESE and ESE Kid Council

By: Maggie Taylor and Sofia Balcius

ESE is a great experience for kids K-6th grade. We love ESE because we've made friends and the facilitators we've known are cooler than we thought already. The counselors care for you like their own kids and friends. You should sign your kids up if they like crafts, fun and activities. They even have fun gym and outdoor games. This program will keep your kids active, happy, and safe, but make sure you don't pick them up until 6:00 because they won't want to leave.

Kid Council is a great leadership experience for the 4th, 5th, and 6th graders at Mohawk Trails ESE. This program includes helping facilitators, creating clubs, a bunch of fun and more. We also plan some fun parties for Mohawk and they end up a big success! The last party we planned had an underwater theme. We had a water slide and a DJ. We are currently working on club plans for Site Plan 2. Members of Kid Council have gone around ESE to get input from the kids to see what clubs they want to have for Site Plan 2. We voted and are writing 4 club proposals for the site plan. Hopefully, we will have a great term in ESE Kid Council!
