Summer School

Summer school will begin June 8 and end July 17. The hours will be 8:30-11:30 and classes will be held Mondays through Thursdays. During summer school we will enhance academic skills while studying different countries while we "travel" around the world.

Each week, students will submit a recipe from the country we are visiting. Ms. Rich and Ms. Terri will select two to three recipes. On Wednesdays, we will shop for groceries and on Thursdays we will cook and eat. These are usually complete, nutritional meals with dessert!!

On two of the Wednesdays (one in June and one in July), we will be packing food boxes at First United Methodist Church for the Commodity Food Supplementary Program. This program provides boxes of food each month for the poor and elderly who qualify based on applications. This is a government program and students have an opportunity to serve their community in a very big way! After we work, we will go to the gym at FUMC and play dodgeball or basketball.

This is a program of attraction and an enrichment program. Students who come will want to keep coming back for more and will be more prepared for the upcoming school year! See you there, or......be square! ;)
