After School Clubs

After School Clubs are managed by the Wilmette Park District, but conveniently located right at Harper School. A wide variety of classes is offered during the winter, ranging from sports to science to music and much more!

The Harper Garden Club is offered in the Fall and Spring (this program is not run via Wilmette Park District).

Our popular Harper Chess Club is offered by the Wilmette Park District throughout the school year.

For more information about After School Clubs, contact Haylee Kessler, Recreation Activity Coordinator at 847-853-6297 or hkessler@wilpark.org, or visit the Wilmette Park District website (search for “Harper”).

Harper Chess Club

Calling all Chess Masters! Harper Chess Club offers fun games and lessons for ALL levels of chess ability! Our Chess Club meets on Mondays after school in the Harper Cafeteria in sessions offered throughout the school year.

This information is only on the Wilmette Park District website (search for “Harper”) and not in the Park District brochure.

Children will be dismissed from their regular classroom and checked in at the cafeteria by the Chess Enrichment instructor. The children will be brought to the front entrance of school at the end of the class (4:30 pm) to be dismissed. Children are expected to be picked up on time.

In compliance with the school snack policy, children may only bring a fruit or vegetable snack to have prior to class starting. The park district will not be providing any snacks.
