Some Summer Schools Rock

Ah summer school, it sounds like punishment, doesn't it?  Or at least that's how I remember it.  Well, not necessarily, not if done right.

Big C has attended West Suburban Summer School for four years and it's a highlight of her summer!  The program is an offering of District 287 and is open to children who are part of the gifted and talented programs in the following school districts:  Brooklyn Center, Edina, Eden Prairie, Hopkins, Minnetonka, Osseo, Orono, Richfield, Robbinsdale, St. Louis Park, Wayzata, and Westonka. 

West Suburban Summer School has fun week long summer schools that cover a variety of interests.  Think art, diving, animals, music, inventing and presenting, writing to get published, Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, problem puzzlers, zoology.

West Suburban Summer School Classes

Contact your gifted and talented teacher for a card allowing you to register for the classes.  Registration begins in February.  

The administration and teachers associated with this program really understand the gifted and talented population.  Big C's teacher this year told me she instituted a new reading policy in her classroom because she recognized these kids need a little time to themselves.  BINGO, perfect for my introverted child!
