DAVENPORT SCHOOLS PLAN SUMMER ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS

The Davenport Community Schools are planning two summer enrichment programs for students currently grades K-5. One program will take place at the Lincoln Academy of Integrated Arts/Bucktown Center and the other at Wilson Elementary. Both sites will feature three sessions.

Sessions will be from June 19 to June 30, an interim session from July 5 to July 7, and another session from July 10 to July 21. Hours at the Lincoln site will be from 8 to 11:30 a.m. and at Wilson from 8 a.m. to 12 noon. Both programs will provide breakfast and lunch. Cost is on a sliding fee scale – full pay is $13 per day, students who qualify for reduced lunch is $9 per day, and students who qualify for free lunch will be $6 per day.

At both programs, children will rotate through a series of activities – including academic enrichment, recreation, arts/crafts, and working with various community programs and partners. Both sites will also offer field trips.
The Lincoln Summer Arts Academy at Bucktown will work with many art partners from throughout the downtown Davenport area. Children will explore different aspects of art – including painting, print making, jewelry, ceramics, poetry, music, drama and dance. Classes will take place primarily at the Bucktown Center for the Arts at 225 E. 2nd Street.

Stepping Stones Summer Enrichment at Wilson will be located at Wilson Elementary. Children will work with community partners to explore a number of creative and academic opportunities.
You can register for either program by contacting the Davenport Schools at the Kimberly Center, 1002 W. Kimberly Road (near the Village Shopping Center) or by calling 391-9161, extension 3.
