The CONNECT After School Programs help youth reach their full potential in school and life.

I love the different activities you do with our children. Very happy that you have opened this program up to our town kids."

"I like doing the CONNECT events... I like hanging out with people and I like the stuff you learn."

"The CONNECT Program was an amazing opportunity! Getting to teach them the game we play every day was a highlight of my Sprint Football career. It was great to play schoolyard football again and I hope we continue this program."

"It's great. We are usually learning new things, and I like just meeting the new cadets and spending time with everyone."

"We are very appreciative of all the amazing things the program is doing for Pedro and all the great opportunities. Thank you for your time and dedication."

"I like doing the CONNECT events because it's better than going home. At home I would be doing nothing. I like hanging out with people and I like the stuff that you learn."

"Thank you! Yes, she tells me all about the wonderful activities when she gets home!"

"Thank you for this awesome program. Olivia is having such a wonderful time. She is learning so much! And not just coming home to sit in front of the tv or on a tablet. Thank you!!! So grateful for this opportunity."

"This event was important to me because it reminded me that there is more to our community outside of West Point. We owe it to Highland Falls to support their children and students just as the town supports us. I think this event showed the students that electrical engineering and computer science can be fun, and that West Point cares about their education and growth."

"Thank you so much for bringing this amazing program to fruition for the children of this district. As a parent of a CONNECT student, I can say it has been a wonderful experience and my son comes home excited to tell me all about CONNECT. Please continue this great work."

"The CONNECT day last spring was awesome. I enjoyed engaging with the kids and seeing the enjoyment on their faces; you could tell they looked up to all of us. It was a special opportunity and was a blast to do with our teammates."

"I wanted to thank you for the field trip that the 4th graders had to the engineering labs. My daughter had a blast. She made a beautiful light up Valentine's Day card. Thank you for all you do for the program."

"What I like most is the schedule change throughout the day. This gives focus to sharpen various important skills."
