8.  Program Updates

*PAEC Academy

Summer school ran very smoothly, including the busing. Teachers concentrated on maintaining reading, math and writing skills previously learned by students. The theme was “By the Sea”, so students also learned about ocean life.

Students went on a field trip to the York Theater to see “Norm of the North”. Students learned that many animals are dependent on the ocean for food. They also learned what the ocean looks like in the winter and how that impacts the animals in and out of the ocean. We also had a Reptile show. Some of the animals were animals that live in water, such as the tortoise. Students really enjoyed learning about the different animals. They also had the opportunity to touch/hold some of the animals. On the last day of school, PAEC Academy and PAEC Center had an ice cream social together. Students and staff enjoyed seeing and visiting with old friends.

Teachers completed a Progress Report on each of the students enrolled in summer school. Reports indicate what skills were worked on with each student and what progress was made.

*PAEC Center

We have been studying about Marine Life for the Extended School Year 2016 program.

All students have studied different mammals, fish and other under the water living

things. All of their studies were displayed at the annual ESY Art-Fair/Science Fair on

June 15th!

Our students also learned about other animals and reptiles after a presentation from

Coal Black Exotics. The students were able to touch various reptiles. After the assembly, curriculum focused around the animals and reptiles they were able to experience firsthand. This presentation was on June 8th, so there have been a lot of discussion around the

Marine Life theme. All curriculum, with the Marine Life theme, has been the focus in

math and reading the entire ESY program.

*HOTSTUFF Program

Our theme is HOTSTUFF Extravaganza! At this time we have 72 children enrolled in

our summer camp. Summer camp will run July 11, 2016 through August 4, 2016. We

have 3 students that are verbal enrollments, we are waiting for their paperwork to be signed.

Health and Nutrition Program

Kid in the Kitchen will begin in the summer for our children. Every week they will learn how

to make a tasty treat following recipes. These classes are held on Tuesdays. Loyola Health

program will also have a representative run a class for our junior high children on

Wednesdays.

Garden for Spring

Our garden is blooming!

*Special Olympics

Congratulations to our Special Olympics Soccer Stars! Our Tigers 1 team endured the heat and were able to pull off two victories which won them a gold medal and a 1st place trophy in their division! We had our Individual Skills athletes win a gold medal and a 4th place ribbon! All the athletes did a great job and made everyone very proud!
A special thank you to the coaches that guided the athletes throughout the season and to those who went downstate with them. We really appreciate the dedication and support these coaches give our athletes year in and year out.
