Attention Parents and Guardians,
Your student was provided a flyer this week about a summer program that will be offered at each building. The elementary summer program will offer students hands-on activities with a focus on ocean themed books. The middle school program will partner hands-on activities with a weekly reading theme. The elementary will serve students who just completed kindergarten-4th grade and the middle school will serve students who just completed 5th-7th grade. ONLY Spring Garden Students may attend. Summer sessions will be offered on Tuesdays beginning June 14th-August 2nd from 10AM-Noon. Please send an email to Mrs. Pulliam if your student is planning to attend so that we can have a general idea of how many students to prepare for or any additional questions. "rpulliam@sgd178.org". Parents/Guardians will be asked to complete a simple one page registration form upon a student's first time attending. Elementary students will meet at the elementary building and middle school students will meet at the middle school building. $10 gas cards will be available to parents upon picking up their student each week if needed. The cereal collected from the domino challenge will also be sent home with students each week.
