Project SWEET (School-Wide Enrichment Education Time) The Fall cycle will begin in mid October and last for approximately eight weeks, on Friday afternoons from 1:30p.m. to 3:00p.m.

Students in grades 3-6 will select  a course from a menu of diverse activities such as dance, robotics and scrabble club. Teachers from all grades are involved. In addition, last Spring we were fortunate to have parents involved in co-facilitating several of the courses. It was a wonderful experience for the students as well as the parents. Please consider volunteering your time, if at all possible. Think about a topic or activity that you would like to share with students. If you have an idea and are able to make the time commitment for the full eight weeks, we'd be happy to contact you and discuss your idea. Please complete the form below. someone will contact you in the near future.

Project SWEET will include a gifted and talented component for which students have to be identified based on standardized test scores (Grades 4-6) and a school-developed selection criteria which was completed last spring, by teachers of grades 1-5. If a student was selected for this component, an application will be given.
