Elementary Summer School
We had a wonderful and very successful Elementary Summer School! We are so grateful to everyone who helped make these two weeks such a fun and meaningful experience for our students.
This year, we had 53 students participate in Summer School. Throughout the two weeks, students learned through hands-on STEM activities, creative projects, books, and plenty of fun!
Students learned how to make ice cream, chocolate chip cookies, granola, and pretzels. They also put their engineering skills to work by building structures designed to withstand earthquakes, creating a Ferris wheel, and designing animal habitats. Students even had the opportunity to design their dream bedrooms!
Our learning was connected to books throughout the two weeks, allowing students to explore stories while incorporating science, technology, engineering, art, and math into their activities. One of the books we enjoyed was Nim’s Island, which students listened to throughout Summer School. We wrapped up our two weeks with a field trip to the Grant County Herald Independent in Lancaster, where students got to see how newspapers are printed. We ended our day by watching Nim’s Island together!
Thanks to a generous Dollar General Literacy Foundation Grant, each student was able to take home two to three books that they had used during Summer School. Students also took home a new bag that they helped cut and sew. A special thank-you to Sue Welsh for coming in and helping us create these wonderful bags!
We would also like to extend a huge thank-you to our amazing school community:
Thank you to our parents for supporting and encouraging your children throughout Summer School.
Thank you to Mr. Osterkamp and Mrs. Kari for your help and support in making this opportunity possible.
Thank you to Meg and Carissa for cleaning the Elementary building and helping us keep everything ready for our students.
Thank you to our kitchen staff for preparing breakfast and lunch for our Summer Lunch Program.
Thank you to Mike Dearth for driving the bus and helping make our field trip possible.
Most importantly, thank you to all of our students for bringing their energy, creativity, curiosity, and smiles each day. We had such a great time learning and growing together!
Thank you to everyone who helped make Elementary Summer School 2026 a success!
Mrs. Shannon Kriel, Ms. Jessica Swiggum, and Ms. Madalyn Welsh
