The Voyager Program is alive and well at Crutchfield and Fairview. Twelve years ago, Crutchfield principal David Parker thought there might be a need for after-school childcare. He discovered the Voyager Program which meets a childcare need with an emphasis on strengthening academics. “Voyager is not babysitting," said director Suzanne Gladen. "It is a well planned, after school enrichment program which includes work and play. Students’ activities vary according to the students’ need of the day." Homework is completed, and TAKS tutoring is available as well as lessons from the Voyager program itself. No child is left behind! Voyager hours are 3:00-6:00 p.m. and enrollment is open to the public. If you or someone you know needs an excellent after-school program, contact Suzanne Gladen at Crutchfield Elementary School or Leda Roelke at Fairview Elementary School. Shown here during Voyager outside play is Sisters of Service member Paige Armstrong with students Araceli Castillo, Lexi Smith, Mark Cary, Kayle Lawson, Jordie Holcomb, Jaclyn Rogers, Logan and Layton Elvington, and Chase Parker.
