SummerFest Begins June 28! June 2010 by Van W. Riley, Ph.D., Superintendent, Huntington Beach Union High School District

 

We are continuing to accept registrations for SummerFest 2010, our new fee-based summer enrichment program open to all students within our boundaries in grades 4-10.  During SummerFest, students can participate in a variety of entertaining and creative activities during three 2-week sessions of morning and/or afternoon classes in an affordable, safe, and quality program located within our comprehensive school sites. 

SummerFest 2010 is an exciting and ambitious undertaking by the district, intended to provide a valuable service to families in our community who, because of continued budget and unemployment concerns in California, have fewer quality summer options for their children.  Course offerings in areas that include fine arts, reading, writing, and math reinforcement, physical fitness, visual and performing arts, the culinary arts, and science and technology will be taught by elementary, middle and high school employees who have personally designed the classes they are teaching.  Session I begins June 28^th, Session II begins July 12^th and Session III begins July 26^th.

Registration for SummerFest 2010 is ongoing. Parents can either register online or in person at each of the SummerFest school sites.   A reduced rate is available to parents who register their student(s) for multiple sessions or multiple morning and/or afternoon blocks. There is also an extended morning option for those parents who need to drop their students off before the normal SummerFest classes begin.
