Yoga, art, music, acting and foreign language classes for elementary students may sound expensive, time-consuming and perhaps even unattainable. But in Ashland public schools, they’re affordable and sometimes even free — at least, they were this past school year. The three public Ashland elementary schools — Helman, Bellview and Walker — just wrapped up their first year of After School Enrichment Programs (ASEP). These programs take an hour after school Tuesday through Thursday to allow students

An Ashland elementary school makerspace greatest product is encouraging inquisitive young minds. What’s a “makerspace”? Simply that: a space where people can make things, a place where people can gather to create, invent and learn. One local example is DaVinci’s Garage at ScienceWorks Hands-on Museum, a room with crumpled paper airplanes and model clay stains on the floor. It is a dedicated area for kids to be thoughtful with their hands, a place that encourages them to create and invent. “Maker

God help us. Then I think, who am I to judge? Perhaps those who do such things have been warped by forces over which the
