East Islip Elementary Students Treated To Summer Enrichment Program
The East Islip School District ran its annual Summer Innovation and Enrichment Academy for students in kindergarten through eighth grade, held during two one-week sessions in July and August at East Islip Middle School. Students were treated to a three-hour block each day of exciting lesson plans created and designed by a team of elementary, music, art and Spanish teachers, supported by a dedicated staff of teaching assistants, paraprofessionals and youth assistants and led by instructional coordinator Melissa Henderson. Students participated in theme weeks designed around the Summer Olympics and ocean adventures.
