Summary:
|
The District will seek Board approval of a partnership with the National Inventors Hall of Fame. Four hundred elementary school students (grades K-5) will participate in a one week summer program held at Franklin Middle School. The program will feature two one-week long programs (Week 1 – June 24-28, Week 2 – July 8-12) and will run Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Students may attend one of the sessions. Camp Invention is a confidence-boosting STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) summer camp where students build creative inventions and lasting friendships. The camp offers new and exciting hands-on activities every year. Transportation and lunch will be provided at no charge to families. Historically this program has been offered at a cost to district families which prevented our underserved population from attending. This partnership will allow a more diverse group of students to benefit from this camp. ARP ESSER III/After School funds will be used to support this partnership at a total cost of $100,000.
