Summer School Magic to Start Soon

This article was submitted by Cathy Kalpin, Clarke School adjustment counselor.

The Swampscott school system is ready to go with an exciting and enriching summer program for Swampscott youth who have completed grade K-5.

Experienced and enthusiastic Swampscott educators provide engaging activities in science, math, technology and literacy. The fun happens at Swampscott Middle School from July 5- August 12.

There are three different 2-week sessions planned with themes that are sure to please every interest. From July 5th to July 15th participants will explore magic and mystery. Those attending will unravel the mystery of everything that surrounds us and be mesmerized by the talents of well know magician, Mike Bent of AbriKidabra.

You may have seen him on television, read one of his books or voted for him in 2009 as "Boston's Best Children's Entertainer" by Parent's Pick Awards. He has performed nationally, including at the White House.

Everyone will be sure to learn something new about magic.

The stargazing will continue for the second session from July 18-July 29 when students learn about space, the skies and the stars. Participants will be sure to enjoy their morning in the Starlab, brought to the program by the museum of science.

It will feel like you can touch the stars.

Hopefully, no one will be too exhausted because the third session from August 1-12 will focus on Fun and Fitness.

Learn all about how to stay healthy and have fun doing it. The program will welcome local Zumba instructor Jenn Reiter to get everyone in the building moving and grooving!!

It's not too late to register for any of the sessions. Just email either co-director, Mary Powers at powers@swampscott.k12.ma.us or Cathy Kalpin at kalpin@swampscott.k12.ma.
