Enrichment Classes

Our Mt. Washington Elementary students can enjoy a robust offering of after school classes that enrich their educational experience. MWPTA brings an assortment of class offerings to our students. Our After School Enrichment classes are meant to help support the varied interests of your children and are not an after school care program.

Once you enroll your child in a class make sure that the teacher has confirmed receipt of your payment and enrollment.
