Some Glenview Middle School students have been spending part of their of summer vacation at school.
According to the Lights ON For Learning site coordinator, Teresa Dothard-Campbell, the summer enrichment program has been a huge success!! Classes ranging from African drumming to sign language to cheerleading ran from June 8 - July 2 from 12:00-2:30 p.m.--with a free lunch everyday-and the students loved it. "The purpose of the program is two fold. The first objective is to provide students an opportunity to be engaged in enriching experiences that will open their eyes to different cultures, along with providing them a chance to be involved with activities they may not normally have the opportunity to do. Second, by inviting incoming 5th graders, it allows them a chance to meet new friends, some of the staff they will be working with at Glenview and get used to the school before the first day in August."
Students participated in the following this year:
African Drumming and making of Shakarees through Hand and Heart Drumming
Sign Language through the ASL Source
Zula Shields through Art on the Go
Scavenger Hunt through HyVee
Cheerleading and basketball camp
Canvas painting
Field trips every week
Cooked dinner for the East Moline Fire Dept
Made blankets to donate to an area nursing home
