“A six-hour day is simply not enough for many of our students. Our community partners can help us offer additional learning time to engage and motivate students and reinforce the lessons of the school day.”
~Superintendent Carol R. Johnson
Students from the Orchard Gardens K-8 Pilot School and the John Marshall Elementary School spent their summer learning at Thompson Island, one of 15 nonprofit community partners serving 34 Boston Public Schools through the 2011 Boston Summer Learning Project. Check out our video documenting their experiences on the island! |
