The mission of out-of-school programming at BHRSD is to provide opportunities for students to receive academic intervention and advancement, extend school-day learning, facilitate personal growth, and develop social-emotional learning in an active, engaging, community environment.
At Community, Learning, & Enrichment Opportunities (CLEO) we support the growth of the whole student through active learning opportunities  which are collaborative, experiential, enriching, relevant, playful, and authentic.

CLEO Spring 2025 is NOW ENROLLING

  • Please complete enrollment for Spring CLEO by Thursday March 13
  • Notifications will go out as soon as rosters are created no later than March 18.
  • Spring session will run March 31 – May 29.
  • GIRLS IN SCIENCE CLUB is being offered again for girls in grades 1-4. This program is specifically funded by a grant to encourage Girls to participate in Science. We do not, at this, time offer a comparable option for boys. As of today we have not been able to secure an instructor for such a course. However, boys are welcome to enroll in the Girls in Science Club if they wish to.
  • Middle School students participating in the musical should not feel they cannot sign up for CLEO. We are happy to welcome you into Spring CLEO after your commitment to the musical is complete.
