District 123 summer programming has long been a staple of the multitude of activities offered to the Oak Lawn and Hometown communities during the summer months. The four-week program took place in June and July this year and hosted 528 students at both Hometown Elementary and Covington Elementary Schools.
Along with D123 Summer School Principal Sarah McIntyre and Amanda Bencik, and over 70 staff members created dynamic learning experiences for students that participated. Pre-Kindergartners through 8th graders had options to engage in "Discovery" classes like, "Curious Scientists," "Design & Stitch," and "Coding 101." Along with more academically focused "Launch" courses intentionally designed to provide students entering Preschool through 8th grade an opportunity to get started early on some of the classroom experiences and learning they will experience in the upcoming year.
