Did you know about the Elton Brand writing center?  Did you know that in Elton Brand we have a cooking program?  Did you know we offer YOGA?

WE DO!!!  From 2:45-4:15 everyday the Elton Brand Writing and Academic Center is open in the small computer lab in the back of the library. Ms.McLaughlin & Mr. Flacinski are the teachers in charge of the writing center and help students with writing essays, computer research and any homework students may have.

In addition, Ms. McLaughlin conducts a cooking program every Tuesday at 4 pm in room 206.  Students learn to make their favorite dishes and baked goods.  Last year, students learned how to make homemade ice cream in a matter of minutes using a plastic bag, ice, salt, sugar, cream, vanilla extract.  This year, students have made fruit smoothies using oranges, strawberries, and bananas.  Today, October 8, 2013, students are learning how to make apple crisp.  Next week students will be making pizza and the following week students will learn how to make caramelized apples!

In addition to the Elton Brand Writing Center and cooking program, the Elton Brand Center also offers Yoga every Tuesday and Thursday at 4 P.M. in the cafeteria.  Yoga is a form of exercise which involves stretching, breath control, and simple meditation.  Many people use yoga to help them relax, de-stress and feel healthy.  Ms. Franchino and Ms. McLaughlin are the instructors and welcome all students to join them.

Elton Brand Academy is an after-school turorial and recreational program.  The academic part is from 2:45 until 4:15pm Monday through Friday and the recreational piece is from 4 pm. until 5:45 pm.
