1 Great Seneca Creek Elementary School Fall After-School Clubs We are proud to introduce Great Seneca Creek Elementary School s extracurricular club offerings for the school year. Our clubs offer many opportunities to explore new ideas and gain new knowledge and skills. Participation in our after school clubs will also provide students with the opportunity to understand the world around them, their unique talents, and the talents of others. Our first session will begin the week of October 16 th and clubs will run for six weeks. The information and registration in this packet pertains to our first session only (fall clubs). Another registration packet will be sent home for the winter/spring clubs.
