The LOOP after school program was developed through the Expanded Learning Opportunities (ELO) Initiative in partnership with the Grand Rapids Public Schools. The ELO Initiative is a coalition of over 120 community partners, co-chaired by Grand Rapids Mayor George Heartwell, and Brian Craig of ProgressiveAE. ELO is working to ensure that every child in the City of Grand Rapids has access to quality after school programs, and a LOOP program in every elementary and middle school.

For more information or to register your child, please call GRPS Office of Extended Learning at 616.819.2165.
