Parabajitos will not be offered for the summer following the 2022-2023 school year.
The Parabajitos program (For the Little Ones) is an after school and summer program for kids ages 5-13. The program is designed specifically for children who are in need of support to learn skills on how to be better friends, students and community members. The objective is to help kids develop self-esteem and a sense of belonging in the community. Kids meet once a week with trained staff to learn new skills and to develop these skills. The program focuses on boundaries and rules, understanding feelings, and dealing with them appropriately, bullying, accountability and proper decision making. The program, during the school year, lasts several months and children are rotated through twice a year. Leadership skills, cultivating mindfulness, college educational goals, and community service are emphasized in the six week Parabajitos summer program. This program is based on the Bijou Community School Campus and supports kids from other schools in the summer months.
