During the spring semester, Planet Kidz runs from mid-January through mid-May. Please click on the link below to view a monthly calendar/schedule. For specific questions about the program, please call 214-986-4326 or email Planet Kidz at agnew@planetkidz.org. Dale Oakes, president of Planet Kidz, has put together a great program in cooperation with school districts and city park/recreation departments all over the state of Texas. Mr. Oakes feels that the success of Planet Kidz events are a community effort benefitting our community's children and young teens. Pre-teens and teens in grades 3 through 8 are too old for a babysitter, yet too young to be left unsupervised. There are few choices where these children can go to have fun and excitement in a safe and secure environment. MISD Community Education and Planet Kidz have filled this need. By participating in Planet Kidz, pre-teens and teens can develop their social and physical skills while being looked after with interactive supervision, a well-trained management team and a city police officer on site. *This is an ongoing program that is open to students in grades 3-8 most Friday evenings at Agnew Middle School [729 Wilkinson, Mesquite 75149].* Parents sign their students in and out; students are NOT allowed to leave campus unless accompanied by a parent/legal guardian. CLICK HERE FOR SCHEDULE OF EVENTS! For further information, please call Planet Kidz directly at 214-986-4326 or email at agnew@planetkidz.org. Visit their website at www.planetkidz.org
