Approximately 530 students in grades K-7 from the Bethpage Union Free School District participated in the district’s annual Summer Elementary Enrichment Program from July 10 to Aug. 3. This year’s program was held at Charles Campagne Elementary School where students participated in different academic and enrichment courses based on their grade level. Each day was split into two sessions so students could enroll in two different courses if they wished.
Students tapped into their creative side and expressed themselves with courses such as Arts and Crafts, Art in Nature, Music Fun, Musical Theater, Set Design and String and Bead Art. Students also explored in hands-on courses such as Science Discoveries, STEM and Scientific Wonders, and enhanced their language skills in Italian is Fun and Spanish is Fun.
In addition, the Summer Elementary Enrichment Program featured a physical education course for all grade levels and kidOYO, a fun coding course for students entering grades 4-7. To prepare for the incoming 2023-2024 school year, some students also participated in preparation skills classes to build content knowledge and academic skills.
