Learning Never Ends

As many of our students and teachers were off enjoying their summer vacation, there wasa group of students and teachers continuing to read, write, and calculate math. For the past four years, Hinton Community School has offered a summer enrichment program for students in grades 1^st through 6^th. The program is offered 3 weeks in June and 3 weeks in July on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings. Students spent time each day reading, writing, and participating in fun activities to maintain their skills. Math time was spent working on basic facts and counting money by using problem solving. Lots of fun was had by not only the students but by the teachers. Hinton Community School offers this program free of charge for all the students.
