After School Zone with the Boys and Girls Club at Horizon West Middle School is a fun safe place for students to do homework, hang out with friends, and learn new skills. We offer clubs during the school year like:
-
Power Hour: A quiet focused place to complete homework. We offer this club daily.
-
Sports: Students rotate on different days to play basketball, soccer, matt ball etc. This gives them a chance to practice and improve at their sport, or just to enjoy physical activity with other students. We offer this club daily.
-
Video Games: Students love to go to video games and hang out with friends while they participate in competition and play together in person. We offer this club weekly.
These clubs are offered on a quarter-by-quarter basis, based on student interest and staff abilities:
