Enrichment Clusters

Enrichment Clusters are held once a week for 10 consecutive weeks. It is a time when teachers and students come together to do something that they enjoy together. All Enrichment Cluster activities are directed toward a culminating end product. Some of Northern Parkway's Enrichment Clusters include scrap booking, pilates, puppet making, latin dance, sign language, and MORE!
