Summer Express a great success!

Lots of Haywood County students had a great time in this year’s Summer Express program that offered them the opportunity to “express themselves through creative activities.”  Under the direction of Suzanne Wallace with the help of Kendall Dancy, the summer school full of enrichment classes at East Side Elementary was paid for with a portion of the more than $1 million of the 21^st Century Community Learning Centers Program funds.

With classes such as Cartoons and Graphic Arts, Clay Creations, Fairy Tale Puppets, Cyberworld, Knit Wit, Games – Games - Games, Lights Camera Action, Baby Sitting Skills, Manners, I’ve Got Music, Community Helpers, The Egypt Game, Summer Games, and others, the students had a wonderful time filling days for two weeks learning something new and different and making friends.

“We are thrilled with the response from the children and parents in our first year,” Wallace said. “We look forward to providing more enhancement programs for Haywood County students.”
