Get ready for I Heart Afterschool 2018!

Mark your calendars — February 14 is We Love Afterschool! Starting now, we’re celebrating the millions of reasons to love America’s afterschool programs, and we want to see why you and your students love afterschool!

Joining in can make for an easy and fun activity for your program in the days leading up to Valentine’s Day. We’ve prepared a printable for participants to decorate with the reasons they love afterschool, plus some customizable social media samples to share your story.

Taking part is simple. All you have to do is:

Download the toolkit.
Make copies of the included We Love Afterschool sign.
Ask students (and parents!) to fill them out.
Snap photos of the finished product and share them on social media with the hashtags #AfterschoolWorks and #IHeartAfterschool! (You’ll also find ready-to-use graphics, a Facebook frame, and .gifs to share on social media!)
