Saint Michael’s School promotes affordable summer camp and after-school programs
Summary
Saint Michael’s School in Centerville presented its year‑round K–8 programming and an affordable summer camp that accepts vouchers; the principal said community members need not be enrolled to participate and provided contact information.
Gabrielle “Gabby” Twelfthhoven, principal of Saint Michael’s School in Centerville, told the Lowell City Council nonprofit subcommittee that the school offers year-round K–8 education, an after-school program that runs until 5:30 p.m., and an affordable summer camp open to nonstudents that accepts vouchers.
"We've been there for a very long time, over 100 years," Twelfthhoven said, describing the school’s history and its role in the neighborhood. She emphasized the affordability of the summer program and the school’s willingness to work with families on vouchers and other supports.
Twelfthhoven described the summer program as being tailored to keep students engaged and to help families who may face cost barriers; she said enrollment and program information are available on the school website and that Christina Fernandez, the director of enrollment, can assist families with applications. She provided a website address on the slide deck and encouraged interested parents to search “Saint Michael School Lowell” for details.
Committee members praised the school’s community role and encouraged viewers to spread the word about summer programs. Councilors who spoke said Saint Michael’s is a neighborhood option for families seeking affordable programming and noted the school’s small-classroom advantage.
No formal committee action was taken on the Saint Michael’s presentation; the subcommittee adjourned after the item.
