'Fuel' Afterschool

Fuel Youth Center opened with afterschool hours

 

In December, Fuel, the youth program created by St. Bernard Parish President
Craig P. Taffaro, opened its doors at the Paul Noel Gym with afterschool
hours for students in St. Bernard Parish.  The Fuel Youth Center is opened
from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. every Tuesday and Thursday at 210 Moreau in
Chalmette.  The Youth Center is open to all students in the sixth through
12th grades. Students have use of the gym for basketball, dodge ball or
other sports, as well as the renovated upstairs that houses space for
students to hang out with their friends, play video games on the Wii and
Xbox 360, access the Internet, work on homework with their friends, or play
board games.

 

The Youth Center has special hours during school breaks and also has a
concession stand for students to buy snacks.  Parents are asked to fill out
one form upon dropping their child off for the first time.  The form can be
filled out at the gym when they arrive.

 

If you have any questions, please contact Abbey Flaherty at 224-1653.
