Extracurricular activities
Anoka-Hennepin Community Education coordinates programs to
support students after-school, in the evening and on the weekend.
These programs provide fun, hands-on opportunities for children to
meet friends, develop skills and explore new interests.
• Enrichment classes and activities
ahschools.us/communityschools
Each elementary and middle school has a Community Schools
office, which coordinates a wide variety of classes and activities,
such as arts and crafts, athletics, recreation, theatre, language and
science exploration. Families may enroll in enrichment opportuni-
ties offered at their child's school, or at districtwide events.
• Athletics
ahschools.us/msathletics
Middle school athletic programs are supervised and led by
certified coaches, licensed teachers and/or knowledgeable staff
who emphasize skill development, participation, teamwork,
leadership, social growth, sportsmanship and respect for others.
• Open swim, swim lessons
ahschools.us/swim
Aquatic programs provide essential skills for life. Roosevelt
Community Pool is home to open swim, aquatic exercise, compet-
itive swim programs and swim lessons for all ages and skill levels.

A youth service coordinator at each high school provides
students with meaningful student leadership and service
opportunities that positively impact the community.

children with additional opportunities to foster
a love of reading outside of the classroom
by introducing various genres of literature,
extending students' writing connections, and
promoting higher level thinking skills.

mathematical experiences for students in
grades K-5 to reinforce problem solving, logic
and reasoning.
