Introduction:	Ridgeland School District 122, Oak Lawn Hometown School District 123 and the Oak Lawn Park District work together to provide a safe, recreational before and after School Program called FLASH. FLASH stands for, Fun & Leisure After School Hours. The FLASH program is administered and directed by the staff of the Oak Lawn Park District. The School District provides facilities for the program, as well as custodial services. All staff are hired, trained, and supervised by the Oak Lawn Park District. This program is offered to Kindergarten-5th Grade students that attend Ridgeland School District 122, and Kindergarten - 8th Grade Oak Lawn Hometown School District 123 students. Any student attending Covington, Hannum, Hometown, Kolmar, Sward, OLHMS, Columbus Manor, Harnew, Kolb, and Lieb are eligible to participate in the FLASH program. Students at these schools will attend FLASH at the school in which they attend. Children will participate in a wide variety of activities while at the FLASH program. Children can play active games, participate in sports and fitness, create arts and craft projects, and enjoy passive activities such as cards, board games, and reading. Staff will also offer children the opportunity to work on their homework. A peanut free snack will be provided for all children in the afternoon. Parents are welcome to send their children with additional snacks in the morning or afternoon. The FLASH program is based on a choice system. This means that there are between two to five activities at a given time for children to choose between. We have found that by letting the child choose the activity they would like to participate in they gain a sense of independence. Children are NOT allowed to bring toys from home. FLASH provides each site with supplies for all to share. FLASH and the school are not responsible for any toys brought that are lost, since they are not allowed. Cell Phones are allowed, but are only to be used for emergencies. We will require the children to keep cell phones in their backpacks.
