Lights On: A Passport to EXPLORE
Alta Loma, CA 91701
Details: We are excited about the opportunity to lead our first Lights On event and would love to create an evening that brings our before- and after-school program families together from across the Alta Loma School District. Our vision is to host a district-wide family event from 5:00–7:00 PM that gives families an opportunity to visit and experience the different sites and programs we offer throughout the district. We currently serve more than 1,000 students across 8 elementary schools and 2 junior high schools, and we would like to use this event as an opportunity to showcase the incredible work happening at each of our sites while creating a fun experience for our families.
Event Concept: "Lights On: A Passport to EXPLORE"
Each participating school/site would have a booth featuring a fun, interactive activity led by our youth and/or program staff. Families would travel from booth to booth, learning about the different activities happening at our sites. To make it interactive, each family would receive a Lights On Passport when they arrive. As they visit each booth and participate in the activity, they would receive a stamp or sticker in their passport.
Once families complete their passport, they would receive a fun prize such as:
* ? Popcorn
* ? Cotton candy
* ❄️ Snow cone
The goal is to make the evening feel less like a traditional information event and more like a family experience and celebration of our before- and after-school program.
Most importantly, we want our youth to have a leadership role in the event. Students could help lead activities, welcome families, explain their programs, assist at booths, and serve as ambassadors for their school/site. This would give them an opportunity to demonstrate leadership while helping families see the impact of our programs firsthand.
We are excited about the possibility of making this our first Lights On event! Thank you for considering this idea. We are looking forward to creating something memorable for our students and families!

Lights On: Grimes Together Challenge
Bloomington, CA 92316
Details: ? "Lights On: Grimes Together Challenge"
The idea: Students + Parents + Think Together Staff + School Admin all work together toward one BIG goal.
? 1. Kickoff — 5 minutes
You, the principal, and one student representative welcome everyone.
You can briefly explain:
“Tonight we’re celebrating the power of afterschool and the amazing community we have here at Grimes. Tonight isn't about Think Together, school, or families separately—we're one Grimes community!”
Then introduce the challenge.
? 2. The BIG Challenge
Have the 232 students divided into their regular groups.
Each group needs to complete a series of team challenges, but here's the important part:
Every group must include a parent and/or adult volunteer.
For example:
Challenge #1 — Build It
Students + parents + staff build the tallest cup tower in 3 minutes.
Challenge #2 — Move Together
The entire group completes a simple movement sequence led by a PL.
Challenge #3 — Grimes Trivia
Ask fun questions about Grimes, Think Together, and the community.
Examples:
What time does Think Together start?
How many students are participating tonight?
What is our Think Together mascot/phrase?
What are some of the activities students participate in?
Have parents help students answer.
Challenge #4 — Team Cheer
Each group creates a 10-second cheer.
Parents and staff have to participate too! ?
Challenge #5 — The Final Challenge
Every group contributes to one GIANT collaborative project.
For example, have a large banner that says:
? "WHAT LIGHTS US UP?"
Every student, parent, staff member, and administrator adds a word, drawing, or fingerprint/handprint representing what makes Grimes special.
?? Get the administrators involved
This is where I'd have some fun.
Instead of having administrators just stand on the sidelines, give them specific jobs.
Principal
Official Challenge Starter
They blow a whistle/ring a bell to start each round.
Assistant Principal
Mystery Judge
They walk around and randomly award bonus points.
School Staff
Team Captains
Assign teachers/admin to different student groups.
Think Together Staff
Challenge Coaches
PLs facilitate and encourage their groups.
Parents
Team Players
Parents aren't spectators—they participate alongside their children.
? Then finish with a "Lights On" moment
Bring everyone together:
232 students + parents + school staff + Think Together staff + administrators.
Have the principal say a few words about the importance of afterschool.
Then you can say something like:
“When we say Lights On, we mean keeping the lights on for our students' learning, friendships, creativity, and future.”
Then have everyone count down:
10... 9... 8... 7...
6... 5... 4... 3...
2... 1...
? LIGHTS ON!
Turn the lights/music on and have everyone do one big group cheer or dance.
Then take a whole-community picture.

Think Together/ “Lights, Camera, Family!” — Lights On Afterschool
Paramount, CA 90723
Details: “Lights, Camera, Family!” — Lights On Afterschool
The Concept
Turn afterschool program into a mini movie premiere for the afternoon.
Students and families get to walk the red carpet, take pictures, play a few quick games, eat snacks, and watch a short family-friendly movie or student-created video.
3:30–3:45 — Red Carpet Arrival
Have staff greet families at the entrance.
Set up:
Red tablecloth or paper runner as the "red carpet"
Balloon arch if you have one
"LIGHTS ON AFTERSCHOOL" sign
Simple props
Take family pictures as they arrive.
have a staff member act as the paparazzi:
"Who are you wearing today?"
"Who are you here to see?"
"What are you most excited about?"
Kids will LOVE this.
3:45–4:15 — Concession Stand
Popcorn
Juice/Water
Small snacks
Give each student a little “Movie Ticket” when they arrive that they can exchange for their snack.
That makes something very simple feel special.
4:15–4:30 — “Think Together LIVE!”
This is where you showcase your program.
Have students do 3 very short things:
Think Together chant
Student dance
Student shout-outs/recognition
You could also have 2–3 students explain:
“My favorite thing about Think Together is…”
That gives the event an actual Lights On message rather than just being a movie party.
4:30–5:15 — Family Movie
Pick one short, high-interest movie appropriate for TK–5.
Dim the lights, put students on blankets/towels, and let families sit together.
5:15–5:30 — Family Finale
End with something quick and fun:
“Family Dance-Off!”
Play 3 songs.
Families have to:
Freeze when the music stops
Copy the dance
Do the "silliest move"
Do an animal dance
Then take one giant family/program photo.

Students will then decorate a leaf with an academic goal and a personal goal they would like to accomplish throughout the school year. Once completed, students will add their leaves to a tree poster.
The growing tree will represent our school community and remind students that every individual has a place, every goal matters, and we all grow together. Just as a seed needs care and the right environment to grow, students need support, encouragement, and opportunities to reach their full potential.
“Every seed has potential. Every student has a place. Together, we grow.”

How it works:
TK–2nd: Students decorate light bulbs with drawings of their favorite afterschool activities or something that makes them happy.
3rd–5th: Students write or draw something they have learned through afterschool and one goal they have for the future.
6th–8th: Students create light bulbs featuring a personal goal, career aspiration, leadership skill, or positive message they want to share with younger students.
Staff assemble all the light bulbs into one large “Our Future Is Bright” display representing the entire TK–8th afterschool community.
End with a short Lights On Walk where students visit the mural, take pictures, and participate in music, snacks, and a few quick team-building games.
This activity supports creativity, communication, youth voice, collaboration, and goal-setting while giving students an opportunity to reflect on how afterschool helps them grow.

Step Into the Light & Out of the Shadows: Escaping the Darkness
Brandon, FL 33510
Details: Our Lights On Afterschool event will turn our theme of Escaping the Darkness into an interactive experience. An experience where youth will walk through a safe, dim, low-energy entryways into vibrant, neon lit spaces where every club activity represents a tool for emotional regulation, connection and self expression. Each youth will receive a wellness passport upon arrival and they will enter through the "tunnel of light" so as they travel through each room, that is a "zone" it allows the youth to get their wellness passports stamped. This will be a reminder in the future that they overcame the darkness in their lives and now have tools to support them even outside of the afterschool program. Each zone will reflect an area for "grounding" that a student can utilize to practice wellness activities. One zone will be for hands on art, another DIY for self expression, the other room music and dance, a social zone for healthy conversations and snacks, a talk about it zone which is the podcast studio for students to share support conversations for their peers and a quiet ZEN zone for any youth that just needs a moment of serenity.

Through these efforts, Knowledge Builders aims to raise awareness of the importance of quality afterschool programs, encourage family engagement, strengthen community partnerships, and connect families with valuable educational and community resources.
At Colonial Drive Park, Knowledge Builders plans to host a community outreach event from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. to bring families and community members together in recognition of Lights On Afterschool. The event will focus on increasing awareness of the benefits of afterschool programs, encouraging community support for youth enrichment opportunities, and sharing educational resources with local families.

The planned outreach will also encourage family participation and provide opportunities to connect parents with educational and community resources.
Across these three planned celebrations, Knowledge Builders intends to share nonpartisan educational information about afterschool programs, Miami-Dade County Public Schools Referendum No. 268, and Florida Amendment 3 to promote informed civic awareness.

Each youth will receive a passport and get a stamp or check once they complete each station. Their last stop will be the STEAM Photo Station, where they can take a picture in front of our “Lights On Afterschool – Lighting Up Our Future with STEAM!” backdrop using their creative light bulbs that they will design. Once they complete their passport, they can stop by the Keystone and Torch Club station to receive a cookie made by our teen leaders. Only the head leaders from Keystone and Torch Club will help prepare, bake, decorate, package, and hand out the cookies. This will give them a chance to take on a leadership role and give back to the younger members. We will also have a bike giveaway!

MACH Academy’s Flight of Imagination
Augusta, GA 30906
Details: MACH Academy, Inc is proud to host a Lights On After School Open House, an engaging community event that celebrates learning, creativity, wellness, and the many opportunities available through after-school programming.
This year’s open house will focus on literacy and creative writing, while also incorporating hands-on STEAM experiences, art, engineering, teamwork, and fitness. Participants and families will rotate through interactive stations designed to encourage imagination, problem-solving, self-expression, and collaboration.
The event will begin with a book walk featuring a story about a young engineer. As participants follow the story, they will encounter a variety of prompts and activities connected to the book’s themes of creativity, perseverance, invention, and design. The book walk will lead to a mural station, where participants can draw and share their own designs for a flying machine inspired by the story.
At the creative writing station, participants will receive story starters, writing prompts, and imaginative suggestions to help them create a short story. They may write about their flying machine, invent a new character, describe an exciting adventure, or imagine a solution to a problem. This activity will provide an opportunity for participants to strengthen their literacy skills while expressing their own ideas.
The Engineer Station will allow participants to bring their drawings to life. Using a variety of building materials, they will create model airplanes or flying-machine designs based on the ideas they developed at the mural station. Participants will have the opportunity to plan, build, test, and improve their creations while practicing the engineering design process.
The open house will also include a community mural project. Participants will contribute their own flying-machine designs to a collaborative mural, creating a colorful display that represents imagination, innovation, and the shared creativity of the MACH Academy, Inc community.
Outside on the tennis courts, participants will enjoy fun fitness activities focused on team building and wellness. These activities will encourage movement, cooperation, communication, and healthy competition in a positive and supportive environment.
Through this event, MACH Academy, Inc hopes to showcase how after-school programs help young people grow as readers, writers, artists, engineers, teammates, and leaders. The Lights On After School Open House will provide families with an opportunity to experience the engaging, hands-on learning environment that MACH Academy, Inc offers and to celebrate the creativity and accomplishments of its participants.

The programs are coming together for a special Lights On Afterschool celebration on October 22, 2026, from 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM.

The Georgia College High Achievers Program is an afterschool program serving high school students in the Milledgeville community.

The program is proud to join communities across the nation in celebrating the importance of quality afterschool programming.
During this special collaboration, High Achievers students will take the lead by facilitating a series of engaging enrichment activities for Lakeview Academy’s elementary-aged Y.E.S. Program students. This unique partnership will allow high school students to demonstrate leadership, responsibility, mentorship, and service while serving as positive role models for younger scholars.
Students will rotate through a variety of interactive enrichment stations, ensuring that each child has the opportunity to participate in every activity.

Each activity will encourage students to learn, move, create, explore, and grow in a fun and supportive afterschool environment.
“Lights, Leaders & Little Stars” represents more than an afternoon of activities—it celebrates the connection between students of different ages, the importance of mentorship, and the impact that strong community partnerships can have on student success. As the High Achievers shine their leadership light, Lakeview Academy’s young scholars will have the opportunity to discover their own strengths, talents, and potential.

Details: This Lights On Afterschool, our School Age Program students are dreaming big. Each child will design their own lightbulb that shares their hopes, goals, and aspirations, whether that’s becoming a doctor, an artist, a teacher, or something they’re still figuring out. It’s a chance for them to imagine what’s possible and see their ideas taken seriously.
Once the lightbulbs are finished, we’ll hang them throughout the “House,” our home since 1910. For more than a century, this building has been a place where families come together to learn, grow, and build a better future. Now it’ll be filled with the bright ideas of the young people who walk through our doors every afternoon.
Lights On Afterschool is a national celebration of the role afterschool programs play in keeping kids safe, supported, and inspired. At Erie House, we see that impact every day, and we’re proud to light up our building with the dreams our students are working toward.

Celebrating Our Families, Cultures & Community
For Light on After School, we will bring YMCA families together for an evening of food, music, learning, and celebration. Families will have the opportunity to share their culture and learn about the different backgrounds represented throughout our YMCA community.
Cultural Passport Adventure
Each child will receive their own YMCA Cultural Passport when they arrive.
Children will travel from table to table, visiting different cultural stations. At each station, they will:
? Learn about a different country or culture
?️ Taste a traditional food or snack
? Listen to music from that culture
?️ Learn a word or phrase from another language
? Learn about traditions, holidays, or celebrations
⭐ Discover interesting facts
? Get their passport stamped or marked after visiting each station
The goal is for children to explore the world through their YMCA community while having fun and learning from one another.
? Cultural Food Tables
Each participating family or staff member can host a table featuring food that represents their culture or family background. They can share the story behind the food and explain why it is meaningful to them.
? Music Around the World
Music will be part of the celebration throughout the event. Families can share songs and music that represent their culture and traditions.
WHY AFTERSCHOOL MATTERS
These events are a great opportunity to celebrate the people who make our YMCA afterschool programs special — our children, families, and staff.
Afterschool is more than just a place for children to go after school. It is a place where children can learn, grow, make friends, try new things, build confidence, and feel safe and supported.
? CELEBRATING LIGHT ON AFTER SCHOOL
Light On After School gives us a chance to recognize the time, effort, creativity, and dedication our YMCA staff and families put into making our programs a positive experience for every child.
From planning activities and creating new experiences to building relationships with children and families, every effort matters.
Thank you to everyone who brings their energy, heart, and commitment to our YMCA afterschool programs and helps make a difference in the lives of children and families every day.
? MANY CULTURES. ONE Y. ONE YMCA FAMILY.
Together, we celebrate our children, our families, our cultures, and our community — and the people who make our YMCA afterschool programs shine.

Get ready for two weeks of absolute fun, creativity, and adventure as we bring together Lights On Afterschool, Red Ribbon Week, and Halloween for one unforgettable celebration!
Our theme, “Lights On. Heroes Out.”, shines a spotlight on the heroes within all of us. Throughout the two weeks, students will participate in exciting themed activities, creative challenges, games, contests, special events, and opportunities to celebrate making positive choices, being kind, helping others, and being their best selves.
We’ll kick things off by turning the lights on and bringing the heroes out—with activities that encourage students to discover their superpowers, celebrate healthy choices, express their creativity, and have fun together.
From superhero-inspired challenges and Red Ribbon Week activities to Halloween fun, costumes, crafts, games, and surprises, each day will bring something new to look forward to.
Lights on means the fun is on.
Heroes out means everyone has a chance to shine.
Join us for two weeks where after-school comes alive, heroes are everywhere, and making positive choices is something to celebrate!

My goal is to show students through this activity how important afterschool programming is and to thoughtfully think about the ways it has impacted them. I was thinking of hanging them up to, if students are comfortable. My idea is still in the works as I am planning to reach out to another afterschool program that is ran in the same building called MMCC.

Learn To Earn Dayton
Dayton, OH 45431
Details: Lights On Afterschool: Join Us in Celebrating Montgomery County's Afterschool Programs
Every day, between 3:00 and 6:00 p.m., thousands of kids across Montgomery County are in an afterschool program — building new skills, getting homework help, staying safe, and finding mentors who believe in them.
On Thursday, October 22, 2026, Learn to Earn Dayton is joining communities across the country to celebrate that work through Lights On Afterschool, the Afterschool Alliance's 27th annual national celebration of afterschool programs.
This year, we're inviting the community to help us shine a light on the programs that keep kids learning, safe, and supported beyond the school bell.
Afterschool programs aren't just "extra" — for many families, they're essential. A few reasons this work matters here in Ohio:
The need is real. An estimated 820,000 children in Ohio have parents who want them in an afterschool program, but don't have access to one. (Source: Afterschool Alliance research — we'll confirm the exact citation before this goes live.)
The 3–6 p.m. window matters. This stretch of the afternoon is a critical time for youth safety and mental health, and quality afterschool programming gives kids a safe place to be and a positive adult to connect with.
It reinforces learning and life skills. Good afterschool programming builds on what happens in the classroom while also developing teamwork, critical thinking, and other skills kids need for the future.
It's a smart investment. Research suggests every $1 invested in afterschool programming returns at least $3 in value — through lower public safety costs and by helping parents stay in the workforce. (Same sourcing note as above.)
You don't need to run a program to take part. Here's how anyone in our community can celebrate Lights On Afterschool this year:
1. Wear Blue On October 22, wear blue to show your support for afterschool programs. Whether you're a parent, a neighbor, a local business owner, or part of a school community, this simple act helps raise visibility for the kids and programs that need it.
2. Snap a Photo Gather your family, coworkers, or community group and take a photo using the official 2026 Lights On Afterschool poster — hands shaped like a lightbulb is a fun, easy pose that works for any group size.
3. Share the Story Post your photo and help spread the word! Use the hashtags #LightsOnAfterschool, #SASC, and #OAN, and tag Learn to Earn Dayton so we can share and celebrate with you:
Facebook: Learn To Earn Dayton
Instagram: @ltoedayton
LinkedIn: Learn to Earn Dayton
Afterschool programs are a lifeline for families across Montgomery County, and they deserve to be seen and celebrated. Join us on October 22 in wearing blue, sharing a photo, and spreading the word — every voice helps make the case for why afterschool matters here at home.

Projects could incorporate STEM, art, literacy, social-emotional learning, community involvement, or another creative interpretation of “light.”
Participating programs will submit photos and a brief description of their activity and what the children learned or experienced. CCR&R will feature the projects on social media to highlight the important role after-school programs play in providing children with opportunities to learn, explore, build relationships, and grow outside of the traditional school day.
As an incentive, CCR&R will provide learning materials to every program that participates. Our CCR&R Specialists will also vote on their favorite submissions, with selected programs receiving larger grand prizes.
Our goal is to make this a fun opportunity for programs and children while also bringing greater visibility to the value and impact of quality after-school care in our communities.

Mini-workshops can draw from Legacy's existing programming and Teaching Artist network, including African and African diasporic dance, drumming, visual arts, storytelling/cultural traditions, movement and wellness, and other hands-on arts experiences.
The event also creates an opportunity for families to learn about the Legacy Arts Project's youth and community programs, meet Teaching Artists and staff, and identify opportunities for continued participation.
Purpose: The open house strengthens the connection between the Legacy Arts Project and the surrounding community while demonstrating how Africana arts and culture can serve as an entry point for **cultural learning, creativity, wellness, belonging, and intergenerational connection**.

The evening marks the dedication of Waypoint’s new media center and nine years of after-school programming for kids and families in the Yough River valley.
Neighbors, partners, parents, and young people are invited to tour the new space, share a meal, and celebrate what consistent after-school care has meant for local students. Outpost's famous smashburgers, hot mini-donuts, and refreshments will be served. The event is free and open to the public.
“After-school at Waypoint is where a lot of kids make their way forward. At the Outpost, they learn their first job skills, and being in a place where they are celebrated gives them a reason to keep showing up,” said Chris Morse, founder and CEO of Waypoint. “Nine years in, we are still building rooms that help them grow. This media center is one more place for them to create, learn, and belong.”
Lights On Afterschool is a nationwide observance that highlights the difference quality after-school programs make for students, working families, and communities. Waypoint’s celebration is held in partnership with Calvary Cares, United Way of Southwestern Pennsylvania, and Lights On Afterschool.
Each year Waypoint serves about 130 youth through after-school and summer programs, most of them middle schoolers, and trains high school and college students through its Outpost hospitality enterprises. Those businesses help underwrite free programming so families do not have to choose between a safe place after school and the cost of care.

Details: # Lights On Afterschool: Spooky Science & Community Night
**Event Date:** October 22
**Location:** Norton Elementary School
**Hosted by:** Raiders After School Program in Partnership with Norton Elementary and Local Community Partners
**Estimated Attendance:** 100+ students, plus their families
## Event Overview
Raiders After School Program is excited to celebrate **Lights On Afterschool** on October 22 with a special **Spooky Science & Community Night** for our students and their families. This event will bring together our after-school program, Norton Elementary School, local businesses, community organizations, public safety agencies, and families to create a safe, educational, and memorable evening for children in our community.
We anticipate serving **approximately 100 students, in addition to their family members**, throughout the evening. Our goal is to create an event that is much more than a traditional Halloween celebration. Through hands-on STEM activities, crafts, physical activities, family engagement, community connections, and a shared meal, students will have the opportunity to learn, explore, create, and build positive relationships with the adults and organizations in their community.
The event will provide children with a safe and welcoming alternative to traditional trick-or-treating while highlighting the important role that after-school programs play in supporting students, families, and communities.
## Community Trick-or-Treating
A major component of the evening will be a school-wide trick-or-treating experience. Each grade level will have a designated area where students can visit and receive treats. Local businesses and community organizations will also be invited to participate by decorating tables or stations and providing candy or small giveaways.
This will allow students to experience the excitement of trick-or-treating in a safe, supervised environment while also introducing them to local businesses and organizations. We hope to create opportunities for students to learn more about the people and organizations that support their community.
Community partners will be encouraged to make their stations interactive whenever possible, creating opportunities for students to ask questions, participate in activities, and build positive relationships with community members.
## Spooky Science STEM Experiences
STEM learning will be incorporated throughout the evening through fun, hands-on Halloween-themed experiments. One of our featured experiences will be an **Exploding Pumpkin Science Demonstration**, which will be offered three different times during the event so that families arriving at different times will have an opportunity to participate.
Additional spooky science stations may include Halloween-themed experiments involving chemical reactions, air pressure, static electricity, observation, measurement, and problem-solving.
Students will be encouraged to make predictions, ask questions, observe what happens, and discuss the science behind each activity. These experiences will allow stude
