to the JHPCC's after school program sites. Logandale is a middle
school serving 6th through 8th grades and is adjacent to our
current site at Avondale Elementary. We can now continue to
serve children moving from Avondale to Logandale. We are very
excited about this new transition and look forward to a fabulous
school year serving both schools. Initial enrollment between the
two schools will be from 100 to 130 students.

| Chappell Elementary School - After five years and with
much deliberation, the JHPCC has made the decision to
discontinue our services at the school. Due to the increased
enrollment at our other sites and limited instructors, we have
made the difficult decision to focus our resources at sites with
the greatest needs. All Chappell students are invited to
continue services at the JHPCC site for both the After School
program and MODKA.
Our heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Allman and the Chappell faculty
for making our stay over the last five years an experience
we will treasure forever.
