Urban Scholars: Summer 2015

Urban Scholars kicked off the summer component of their year-round program on Monday, June 29 with their annual BBQ. Students mingled, ate grilled hot dogs and burgers, and played some of their favorite sports and team-building activities.

Everyone is excited about all of the events, classes, and activities that are coming up this summer.  Events like attending Sky Zone Trampoline Park, going to the movies, and riding roller coasters at Six Flags are being anticipated by many students this summer. Also, the program is offering many interesting classes that include: Senior Seminar, Pre-Calculus, Trigonometry, Public Speaking, Latin, Chemistry, Public Health, and many more.

I got a chance to speak with the staff at Urban Scholars, and they are ecstatic to see the academic and characteristic growth of their students this summer.

The newest members of the Summer Youth Blog team and I are super excited to welcome them back to the blog, and to be able to work with them this summer.
