-Mr.
Kerr’s Summer Enrichment Program-
This summer, incoming middle school students
(6th, 7th and 8th grade) will have the
opportunity for enrichment classes with a focus on study skills, the sciences
and social studies. Each session will focus on an area of study that will be
relevant for the school year ahead. ALL
classes will be held in the Cabrini Science Lab starting on June 14th.
Each session is $25 per class or $350
for ALL sessions. Study skills, classroom organization and lab reports are included
with registration. I also will be
available in July for individual tutoring.
