Konocti After School Programs
The Konocti After School Program is the result of the 2002 voter-approved initiative, Proposition 49. The Konocti After School Program funds the establishment of local after school education and enrichment programs. Konocti After School Programs are offered at the four K-7 elementary schools including East Lake School, Pomo School, Burns Valley School and Lower Lake Elementary School.

Each after school program offers a daily schedule that includes:
- Nutrition (Supper meal)
- Academic/Homework Support
- Recreation/physical movement
- Enrichment activities
Eligibility
Students in grades K-7 are eligible to apply for participation in the Konocti After School Programs. In situations where there are more applications than spaces, priority enrollment rules, and waiting list are applied.

About Agriculture & Natural Resources Pathway
Lower Lake FFA provides education in 4 different areas of agriculture. They are all CTE pathways.
- Floral Design
- Horticulture
- Ag Mechanics
- Animal Science.
Ornamental horticulture workers are involved in the development, production, and maintenance of nursery, landscaping, and floral industry-related products. Necessary knowledge of related areas includes plant identification, plant physiology, soil science, and plant reproduction, as well as landscaping design, installation, and maintenance.
Along with classwork, there is an opportunity for students to raise animals for fair and to attend events outside of the classroom. There are Leadership Conferences, regional activities, and the beloved State Convention. Students will benefit from competition as well. Lower Lake FFA participates in Public Speaking, Opening / Closing Ceremonies, and Floral Competition.
Lower Lake FFA is a student-run organization that does a lot of community service here locally and have a lot of fun doing so. We serve at dinners for the Lower Lake Community Action Agency and we attend Wreath's Across America Every year. We celebrate FFA Week with an animal day every year. FFA is a lot of fun, we travel a lot and you will make lifelong memories.
