We are excited to offer two summer programs for our students to keep them busy and learning this summer. We have a morning summer school where students will play games to practice reading and math skills and participate in fun STEM design challenges. We are also offering an all day visual and performing arts program. Students can do both - go to summer school in the morning, have lunch, and then participate in the VAPA program until 5pm. These are great ways to keep your students busy and active this summer. Enrollment forms for these programs are in the school office and need to be completed before Thursday this week!
