William Hart Elementary School-WHES

The 21st Century Summer Program is off to a great start! Campers had fun this week doing a variety of activities. All groups started reading their chapter books with Mrs. Buras. Lots of creativity was shown during Arts & Crafts. STEM groups worked on the aerodynamics of paper airplanes and planetary projects. We partnered with Green Light NOLA for a day of painting rain barrels to go back into the community. And our Girl Scouts had their first meeting and created summer bucket lists! Whew! A lot is going on and more fun is yet to come.

Farewell Message from Ms. Matthews:
