“I hope this strike don’t last too long, CPS,” a young mother announces to the bus she’s just flagged down as she shepherds her two school-age sons on board. “Every day they’re not in school they gotta come to work with me.”
To fill the gap, organizations and institutions across the city are offering camps, classes, and workshops, though a word of caution: most cost money, and some of them are just for this week.
All sites are set to welcome families, but children younger than 11 can’t be left unattended.
Classes for students in grades kindergarten through fifth grade will vary every day and include acting, singing, puppet making, choreography, and collaborative storytelling. Thu 10/17 until the strike is over, 9:30 AM to 4 PM, with beforecare starting at 8:15 AM and aftercare from 4 PM to 5:45 PM, $75, with a limited number of $50 scholarships and financial aid available
