Inspiring Education. Empowering Community. Unleashing Potential.

• It allowed my daughter to branch out of her comfort zone and try new things in a beginner's environment. The bus system helped tremendously for this working parent.

• The variety of athletics that the kids participated in every morning. The 4 sports every morning for an hour each seemed like a good schedule to keep the kids interested and engaged.

• A great opportunity for kids to try new sports/activities. I liked that they did not overlap with enrichments. Free breakfast and lunch was a plus!

• Offering a session to young kids, particularly this young age group, that focused on Wellness. The kids really seemed to like Yoga, and I liked that something different like this was offered/taught to them!

• The stations of Wellness Academy got the kids moving and exercising. It was the best because each day was something different.

From our Parents (Enrichment session):

• My children loved the typing class. I liked the fact they actually learned something useful

• My daughter loved the Mad Scientist class with Mrs Hartman. She loved the hands on activities. I loved that she was able to read and write about the experiments she did. My son loved the Police Academy class. He learned so much and about being a police officer and loved that he was able to be active in the class. He loved the demonstrations.

• The 'fun' aspect of it. Integrating fun concepts in learning and academics. Having courses were student interest focused- ie. Superheros, fairy gardens

• The offerings were very creative and fun. My daughter loved every day of class! Super Sleuth and Mad Scientists at Jackson were amazing! Thanks so much to the teachers!

From our Parents (Academy / Middle School Transition session):

• The kids getting a kick start to the upcoming school year, getting a feel for what's to come and what to expect.

• The kids enjoyed it, had fun, and learned. Thank you for all of the work to organize this. It was a treat for our family.

• All of the awesome projects they did every day! The teachers did a fantastic job with the program! Way to go teachers!

• Prepared my son for the routine and structure of school to begin

• The Middle school Program gave me peace of mind that my son had a proper comfort level for the transition

• Great opportunity for kids to become familiar with a new school and lower stress of the unknown.
