After School Program Students Prepare for Kids Challenge Day at Butte College

Select students who attend the Butte County Office of Education’s After School Program will participate at the 6th Annual "Kids Challenge" held at Butte College on Thursday, March 7, from 2-5:30 pm. A total of 22 schools throughout Butte County will be participating including over 500 students and parents/guardians.

Students arrive at 2 p.m. and receive a tour of the campus by tour guides from the college. Following the tour, students will enter the gym to receive a welcome from Butte County Superintendent Tim Taylor and Butte College President, Dr. Kimberly Perry. There will also be a special appearance by the Butte College Roadrunner “Dash” who will be tossing out T-shirts into the crowd. Students will then cheer on one representative from their schools in an academic trivia tournament. Winning teams will earn a plaque and a gift certificate for books. The purpose of the event is to promote the benefits of attending college to students at an earlier age.
