The 21st Century programs that operate in the William S. Greene Elementary School this summer offer a wide variety of educational opportunities that extend learning and enhance student health. Coordinated by Beverly Pavao, the federally-funded program helps students meet state and local student standards in core academic subjects, such as reading and math; offers students a broad array of enrichment activities that can complement their regular academic programs; and offers literacy and other educational services to the families of participating children. Offerings during the summer include a computer, dance, math, music, cooking and physical education classes. A dental hygienist from HealthFirst Family Care Center also routinely offers dental services to students as part of the program. Click here for photos of a planning session with program staff. For more information about the program, contact Beverly Pavao at 508-491-4822 or her cell number, 508-864-1883.
