Jersey Shore Area School District ’ s 21st CCLC Summer Program Kicks-Off in July !
In these early days of summer , select teachers , and staff have been preparing for another exciting summer program funded by the 21st Century Community Learning Centers Grant . An estimated 90 + students , from Avis , Jersey Shore , and Salladasburg Elementary Schools will begin their “ road trip ” on Monday , July 3rd .
The program provides breakfast , lunch , and transportation to and from the host site , which is designated as Jersey Shore Elementary School . Ms . Adrienne Johnston , executive director , and principal of Jersey Shore Elementary School , secured the grant four years ago . The grant provided the necessary funding for the 21st Century Community Learning Centers after school program , and the 4-week summer program , for five years . The district just completed the fourth year of the grant .
During the five-hour program , the students rotate through six hands-on stations : STEAM , Health & Physical Education , Reading & Journaling , English Language Arts , Geography , and Math . In addition , the students will select a club to attend , based on their likes and interests . Clubs are offered by the teaching staff and have ranged from cooking and baking to creating their own comic books . The Lego Club , arts and crafts , and cooking clubs are the most popular !
A new addition to the summer program will be a One School : One Book Experience . All of the students and staff will be reading , “ The Diary of the Wimpy Kid # 9 ” together . Each student will receive their very own copy of the book !
Finally , the students look forward to going on field trips during their “ summer road trip .” A local state park offers opportunities for scavenger hunts and physical activities that encourage collaboration and team building . The program culminates with a walking field trip to the community pool .
Ms . Johnston , Mrs . Berry-Propst , Associate Director , and Program Directors , Ms . Megan Simcox and Mr . Aaron Kemnitz , along with the entire 21st CCLC Summer Program Staff look forward to seeing everyone this summer !
