District expands summer enrichment offerings, adds theater production and internship roles
Summary
The committee heard an update on 2025 summer enrichment programming: new course levels, expanded theater camp with paid internship roles for older students, robotics programming, coding courses and a new "Etiquette for Everyday" offering.
Celia (summer programs coordinator) briefed the School Committee on summer-enrichment registrations and new course offerings for 2025, noting sign-ups opened several weeks earlier than in prior years to match family planning timelines.
New or expanded offerings include Python programming levels 1 and 2, FTC robotics and FTC programming tracks, computer-aided design, an expanded summer theater camp (a three-week production), and a new "Etiquette for Everyday" class covering mock interviews, networking and table manners. The theater program will include internship opportunities for grades 9 and 10 and paid roles for grades 11 and 12 and recent graduates.
Administrators said the district also plans culinary offerings including "Barbecue Basics" and a grilling club, expanded robotics workshops with regional competitions noted, and continuation of the ProPrint literary magazine call for submissions. Committee members praised the early posting of courses and asked for a post-summer summary of enrollment and outcomes.
Ending: Administration agreed to provide enrollment updates during the summer and a post-program report comparing participation with previous years to evaluate the effect of earlier registration.
