Summer school now underway in Homer 33C
School is back in session for nearly 200 Homer School District 33C
students.
Students arrived early Monday (June 12) to begin their summer learning
programs.
“Good morning; good to see you,” Extended School Year Principal Carmel
Hoak told youngsters as they arrived at the district’s Early Childhood Center
at Young School. “We’ve got a lot of fun activities planned for you.”
Across the street at Schilling School, Summer Bridge Program Principals Jen
Theissing (grades K-2) and Jon Grill (grades 3-4) welcomed students as they
arrived for their two-week math program. In the afternoon, Support Programs
Coordinator Christine Graefen welcomed another group of summer learners.
“We’re here to have some fun (with math) and keep it fresh in our minds,”
teacher Leighann Cannon told students as they started their day with a
challenge: Creating a free-standing structure from 20 spaghetti noodles
using one yard of tape and one yard of string.
To top it off, the structure had to be strong enough to support a
marshmallow on top.
“Summer school is designed to strengthen our students’ academic and
social skills to ensure maximum success for the upcoming school year,” said
Kathleen Robinson, assistant superintendent for instruction. “Our summer
programs offer engaging reading, math and writing instruction that blends
small group lessons with individualized learning.”
