After-School Enrichment Programs for Cougar Ridge Students

Cougar Ridge Elementary PTSA is excited to bring after-school enrichment programs to our students—and we need your help to make them happen! We are currently looking for volunteers (leads and co-leads) to help launch the following programs, with a target start in March 2026:

STEAM After-School Program: Help bring hands-on science, technology, engineering, art, and math activities to life for our students.

Art Club: Love creativity? Support student self-expression through fun, hands-on art projects.

Chess Club: Help students build critical thinking, strategy, and focus through the game of chess.

No prior experience is needed—just a willingness to engage, encourage, and have fun with our students!

Program schedules will be based on your availability, and as a thank-you, your child(ren) are guaranteed a spot in the program you volunteer for.

Interested or have questions? Please reach out to Ellen at programs@cougarridgeptsa.org or 303-956-2804.

Thank you for helping make these enriching opportunities possible for our kiddos!
