Forms for our summer program are out. This year our program will run from Monday, June 28th through Tuesday, August 18th.
For those families new to our summer program:
This program is for children going into 1st-5th grade next fall. and runs from 8:00am to 5:30 daily in the Newton North High School. The teachers are current Plowshares teachers at the Franklin and Lincoln Eliot programs and get together to plan weekly theme related outside games, arts/crafts, science, movement, and more.
Excursions and special events are also planned through out the summer, such as weekly library visits, walks to local playgrounds, and field trips to zoo’s, museums, and local attractions. We do visit the beach once during the summer. Free swim is available daily from 4-5pm, and Lou Arcovio, the director at our Franklin site, with a team of qualified staff run a 5 week swimming program.
