Lakelands Park Middle School
After-School Activities Program
2026 - 2027
After-School Activity Coordinator: Ms. Prather
Intramural Coordinator: Mr. Bowers
Supervising Assistant Principal: Ms. Collins
Lakelands Park Middle School offers an exciting variety of after-school opportunities from 3:15 to 4:25 pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays (excluding half days and unscheduled early release days). On the days we have after-school activities, students will report to the Cafeteria at 3:00 pm. We will serve a hot meal from 3:00 to 3:15 pm, and students will be dismissed at 3:15 pm to their activities.
While participating in after-school activities, students can practice leadership skills, as well as improve their academic abilities, musical interests, and athletic abilities, and participate in other endeavors that suit their creativity and personal interests. Under the supervision of a supportive, caring, and competent professional staff member or volunteer, a student will often develop an avocation that will remain a lifelong interest and source of enjoyment.
If you have any questions, please email Ms. Patrise Prather, our After-School Activities Coordinator, at Patrise_L_Prather@mcpsmd.org.
