CHS’s After School Program believes in the research of healthy, active kids make better students. In the article, “15 Minutes of Walking on A Daily Basis Can Change Your Body Drastically” published by Higher Perspective research shows that “Exercise buys you three to seven additional years of life. It is an antidepressant, it improves cognitive function, and there is now evidence that it may retard the onset of dementia.” Other areas 15 minutes of exercise each day helps improve is to lower the risk of diabetes, lowers the risk of Alzheimer’s disease, reduces high blood pressure, help digestion, reduces pain and enhances mobility, enhances bone health, improves cognitive performance, leads to longevity, and improves mood.
With the average age of depression being 15 and suicide being the second leading cause of death in teens (ChildTrends, 2019), Peake After School is taking an active movement against depression, social anxiety, mood disorders, and suicidal ideations. By getting teens together, moving, enjoying sunshine, and participating in healthy activities that they choose, students respond to one another in a more positive way and have a more positive approach to tutoring and homework time.

with your student. We offer Credit Recovery for those students who have fallen behind. We will also be offering
three sessions of Driver's Education through AAA. The dates will be announced at school. There will be eighteen
spots available on a first come, first serve basis. After school students will have priority. There is a discount for our
after school students who have stayed for thirty (30) days or more, EXCEPT FOR THE FIRST SESSION. The first
session will be regular price. If you have any questions regarding Driver's Ed, please call the AAA office at
(740) 532-3242.
The main goal of our program is to help your child in the academic and social efforts. We want your students
to be successful. Please contact us if your student needs tutoring in Math, Reading, English, Social Studies,
Science, etc. Get help early before your student falls behind and has a hard time catching up. Contact Robin
Kimball at (740) 867-5958 ext 7113 with any specific needs or requests.
This is going to be a great year!
