THE GOODEN SCHOOL SUMMER SCHOOL PROGRAM IS IN THE WORKS

This year, we will again have many exciting and fun classes. In addition to the regular classes, we will be offering Friday field trips.

Dates: June 17th - July 19th (with no school on July 4th and 5th).

Who: Students in grades K-8 (September 2013).

What: Many academic classes and some fun classes too!

Summer School classes will be 5 weeks long (Monday-Thursday) with optional field trips on Fridays. Just like last year, students will sign-up for classes individually. This allows students to be able to take one class up to as many as six classes. Before and after school care will also be available. We look forward to seeing as many of you this summer for an enriching and fun filled summer.
