Great Bay Kids director thanks Exeter board for afterschool partnership, cites program use and hours
Summary
Anthony Pansio, executive director of Great Bay Kids, praised the district partnership and reported the afterschool program serves about 65 students daily from Main Street and Lincoln Street, totaling roughly 36,000 hours annually; he described program hours and enrichment offerings.
"My name is Anthony Pansio. I'm the executive director at Great Bay Kids," said Anthony Pansio during public comment, thanking the Exeter School District board and community for partnering on the afterschool program that serves infants through fifth graders.
Pansio described the program’s operations: two centers (one in Portsmouth and another on---the transcript notes a site down the road in Exeter), an afterschool site at Main Street School, and daily program hours from about 3:00 to 5:30 p.m. He told the board the program averages about 65 students a day from Main Street and Lincoln Street combined, totaling about 36,000 program hours annually, and said the program provides enrichment, group activities and a healthy meal prepared by the center.
Board members and community attendees thanked him; administrators and PTO members echoed appreciation for Great Bay Kids’ role filling calendar gaps for families and supporting transitions from early‑childhood through elementary school.
Pansio said he needed to leave early for family reasons but expressed gratitude for the partnership and support.
