水果派鈥檚 2022 Summer Semester is on!聽 Parents might find the idea of summer school difficult.聽 “My student has already gone through a year of school. 聽Why do they need more?”聽 This is a reasonable question – summer school often has a negative connotation.聽 Our summer school programs are not meant to make students or parents feel like they have missed something; instead, we offer additional resources to help students succeed, including themed and athletic day camps, graduation credits, credit recovery, and more.

Academic Programs

Our K-12 summer school program consists of three different formats: one for elementary (grades 1-6), another for junior high (grades 7 and 8), and one for high school students (grades 9-12).

The elementary summer school program consists of daily, one-hour sessions that run from June 27 – July 15.聽 Each course is designed to set our younger students up for success in the upcoming school year.聽 Students can join Support for Success in math and/or reading for three weeks of intensive, targeted skill support, or they can join Prep for Success: 水果派 101 for an overview of grammar, writing, cursive, planner usage, and study and organizational skills. Any of these courses are a great way for new and returning students to prep for a rewarding school year.

At the junior high level, students can join on of two six-week intensive math courses that focus on bringing students to the appropriate level needed to succeed in appropriate math level.聽 A readiness test is administered at the conclusion of each program to ensure mastery. 聽High school students can participate in a wide range of courses, including readiness classes, credit recovery classes, and fine arts credit classes.聽 Classes are currently being offered for math and English readiness, history credit recover, and music and art history fine arts credit.

Enrichment Programs

In addition to academic courses, 水果派 is also hosting two exciting enrichment programs, Custer鈥檚 Art Camp and Theater Camp:

Custer鈥檚 Art Camp, taught by Mr. Greg Custer, will help students develop their drawing skills. Students will spend the week developing their draftsmanship skills while having fun and making their own works of art. Students will learn the basic methods of drawing that has made our school one of the most successful drawing programs in the state. This instruction will serve all skill levels from the beginner to advanced artist.

Theater Camp will be taught by Coach Scott, who has written four plays, acted in forty plays, and was Director or Assistant Director on fifteen plays. The camp will include pantomimes, stage direction, how to be successful in auditions, developing improvisation skills, difference between movies and plays, costumes and make-up, principles of Method Acting, introduction to public speaking, and more!

Athletic Programs

In addition to academic and enrichment programs, 水果派 hosts several sports camps for grade school students.聽 There are various sports that students can participate in, including lacrosse, cheerleading, and basketball.聽 In addition, there will be a 6-week SAQ (speed, agility, quickness) Camp that is intended to help students succeed in all athletics. There are age restrictions and specific dates for each sport listed .

Summer sports camps are the perfect complement to our summer school programs!聽 We encourage any students who have attended our camps before or are interested in sports to attend.

The Benefits of Club Participation

When students participate in extracurricular activities and clubs, they are investing in, and expanding, their social and educational repertoire. 聽Clubs give participants the chance to build practical and technical skills, while also building a community of like-minded students who are able to grow and learn together.

According to the聽, club participation builds creative thinking, encourages communication skills, and helps students work effectively with others. These, and other important soft skills they continue to develop, will help students academically and socially now, and in the future. 聽Extracurricular activities allow students to dig deeper into their interests and potential career goals. 聽When used on college applications, active club participation gives admissions a clearer understanding of a student’s personality, goals, time-management skills, and even聽leadership ability if the student has taken on additional roles within a club.

水果派 High School Clubs

水果派 High School offers a wide array of clubs to meet the needs of our diverse student body. 聽Students will find inclusive, engaging, and active clubs that allow them to pursue passions, meet other students with similar interests, develop their skills and talents, educate the community, and even learn more about potential career paths.

水果派 Club Spotlight: HOPE Club聽

HOPE stands for聽H耻尘补苍听Opportunities for聽Preserving the聽Environment and the school’s HOPE Club was established in the fall of 2019.

Why was HOPE Club Created?

水果派 had a Recycling Club for over ten years that consisted of a small, but dedicated group of students committed to cutting back on the school’s waste. 聽As club membership grew to over 30 students, it became apparent that club members were interested in more than just recycling. 聽With broader interests, expanded projects, and a commitment to environmental education, the Recycling Club was re-established in the fall of 2019 as the HOPE Club. 聽The name change reflected the evolution of the club and the mission the students had for it going forward.

What is the HOPE Club Mission Statement?

With an interest in educating club members, the student body, school staff, and the community on environmental issues, the HOPE Club has established a mission statement that reflects their goals and values:

The mission of the HOPE Club聽is to reduce the environmental impact of 水果派 while educating students on environmental issues and encouraging stewardship of the planet.

What Activities are Done in HOPE Club?

The HOPE Club has been involved in a variety of activities and projects since its inception.

搁别肠测肠濒颈苍驳听– Management of the recycling at the Corona Campus, as well as recycling used writing utensils through the Terra Cycle program, are two major recycling projects that club members have worked on.

Environmental Education聽– Members and the club sponsor give frequent educational talks. 聽This is one of the most important ways that the club is able to spread awareness and education of environmental concerns.

Experimental Composting聽– Using reactors and worms in the biology lab, this experimental compositing project aims to reduce both food waste from the cafeteria and paper waste from restrooms.

“Bottle Brick” Production聽– Bottle bricks are aimed to reduce single-use plastic waste. 聽When single-use bottles are filled with compressed inorganic matter, they can create a dense, strong “brick” used for the building of various structures.

Energy Tracking聽– The club’s participation in tracking the school’s energy usage was implemented to allow the club to propose plans to reduce usage, and, in effect, reduce the school’s carbon footprint.

Fundraising聽– Club members do fundraising for programs like Team Seas in order to raise funds and awareness for environmental issues.

What is the Impact of the HOPE Club?

The HOPE Club has a valuable impact due to the practical ways they serve the community, but also because they foster awareness and education of environmental issues for club members, the school, and the community. 聽The club strives to educate students in a way that will encourage them to take new ideas about caring for the environment home to their families and beyond to make a wider impact.

Why Join HOPE Club?

Students who are interested in environmental issues will find that the HOPE Club allows them to continue developing their environmental awareness and find new ways to educate others. 聽They will have the opportunity to discuss new ideas, participate in meaningful projects, and meet students with similar ideals. 聽If your student is interested in joining HOPE Club or one of the other great clubs at 水果派, please reach out to us and we would be happy to discuss their options.

In addition to our extensive choice of clubs, 水果派 also has several聽聽and many opportunities to explore聽. 聽All students should have the chance to find an elective or extracurricular activity at which they can excel, and 水果派 strives to provide many opportunities for them to do so.聽聽today for more information about extracurricular activities or academics at 水果派.
