What a fantastic way to wrap up summer school at Mather!
For the final day, Ms. Schalow and our 2nd & 3rd grade summer school students put on a wonderful play-complete with handmade scenery, lots of creativity, and some pretty impressive acting!
Our students worked together to learn their parts, create the setting, and bring their story to life. It was such a fun way to celebrate all of the learning, teamwork, and friendships that have filled our summer school program.
A big THANK YOU to our teachers Ms. Schalow, Mrs. Mattson, Ms. Mickie Dausey and Mr. Bowerman and our summer school volunteers- Kadynce DeFrancesco, Drew Uehlein, and Jake Johnson for making these past few weeks engaging, meaningful, and fun for our students.
